Baby root-vegetable soup with baked garlic toast

Serves: 10

Total Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 large leek, sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1kg assorted baby root vegetables,
washed and halved
1,5 litres vegetable stock
15ml (1 tbsp) fresh dill, chopped
15ml (1 tbsp) fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped
extra 5ml (1 tsp) fresh flatleaf parsley, for serving
GARLIC TOAST
1 garlic bulb
20ml (4 tsp) olive oil
French loaf, sliced and toasted

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot and sauté the onions, leeks, garlic and baby vegetables for about 5 minutes.

Add the stock, dill and parsley and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, skimming frequently to remove surface scum.

To make garlic toast, drizzle the garlic bulb with the olive oil, wrap it in foil and roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic out onto the toasted bread.

Pour the soup into serving bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve with garlic toast.
