Chunky Vegetable Soup

I got home today starving after a busy day in the office and was really feeling like some nice comfort food would be in place. So what better than a big bowl of hot soup and a slice of Polish bread. Here in Dublin there's a bunch of Polish people which means Polish shops and whole shelves in big grocery stores like Tesco dedicated to Polish products. This is good news to me because Polish bread is more similar to Finnish bread than Irish. Irish bread is based on soda or buttermilk instead of yeast.

I don't make soup very often and don't even own a blender to make those lovely creamy smooth soups. But guaranteed is, that I will attempt to make those some day when I have a proper kitchen filled with all lovely cooking utensils and gadgets.


This is a very rustic simple soup. I opted for a vegetable soup, since it's my favourite and not too heavy. Although this one ended up a bit too salty. Also very easy, quick and cheap to make!


Chunky Vegetable Soup

Potatoes
Carrots
Leeks
Vegetable stock cube
Parsley

Peel and dice the potatoes. Peel and chop the carrots. Slice the leeks. Try to make even pieces or cubes so that they boil roughly at the same time. Start by boiling the potatoes first, when they are almost done throw in the carrots and leeks with the vegetable stock cube. Boil until carrots are done. Garnish with parsley.
