Ingredients

• 200 g (7 oz) Jersey Royal potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Schwartz Garlic Granules
• 100 g (4 oz) watercress, stalks and leaves separated
• 1 1/2 tsp Schwartz Ginger Ground
• 600 ml (1 pint) milk
• 1 1/2 tsp Schwartz Parsley Flat Leaf
• Schwartz Sea Salt and Black Pepper to season

A lightly spiced, delicious watercress and potato soup, ideal for a starter or served with crusty bread for lunch.

Method

Step 1

Par-boil the Jersey Royal potatoes for 15 minutes, or until soft.

Step 2

Heat 1 tbs of the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onion and gently fry until softened, but do not colour. Add the Garlic Granules and fry for a further minute.

Step 3

Chop the potatoes roughly and add to the pan with the watercress stalks, Ginger and milk and boil for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Season to taste, stir in the watercress leaves and half of the Parsley. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth, then divide between 4 bowls.

Step 5

Combine the remaining olive oil with the remaining Parsley and drizzle over the soup to serve.

Cook's Notes

Alternatively, new potatoes can be substituted for Jersey Royals.
