This recipe is super easy to follow and you can use either a slow cooker or a saucepan. If you are time poor, then why not use a slow cooker, preparing the vegetables and other ingredients in the morning, and leaving the slow cooker on low all day.
I love this recipe, because the broth adds flavour and depth to the soup. It’s a great way to serve broth in a soup and everyone in the family can enjoy it too.
Why not add some sourdough bread on the side, dipping the sourdough bread in the soup is a great way to soak up the left overs.
TIPS:
Use a slow cooker and cook for 8 hours on low this is a great way to prepare dinners before you head off for work, and when you come home the soup will be ready for everyone in the family to enjoy.

RECIPE
Ingredients
- 10 x scoops of dehydrated beef broth with 1000ml hot water
- 6 parsnips peeled and cut
- 1 whole broccoli
- 1 white potato peeled and cut
Method
Step 1
Turn the slow cooker on to low, if using a pan on a stove then no need to do anything at this point.
Step 2
Peel and cut all the vegetables on a chopping board. Cut into bitesize chunks, put the veggies into a colander and give them a good wash.
Step 3
Add all your washed vegetables into the slow cooker, or the saucepan.
Step 4
Time to make up your broth. Boil the kettle, in a jug add 10 x scoops of beef broth. Once the kettle is boiled, add the boiling water to the jug and give it a good stir with a fork, or one of our broth whisks.
Step 5
Now you’ve made up your broth, simply pour the broth into the slow cooker or the saucepan. If using a slow cooker, simply place the lid over the top and check the temperature which should be on low. If using a saucepan, then turn the stove up to medium heat, cover the soup with a lid and allow the vegetables to boil for about 45 minutes.
Step 6
Wait 45 minutes for the stove to boil or 6 hours using the slow cooker on low.
Step 7
Once the vegetables are ready in either the slow cooker or the saucepan, use a hand blender to blend all the vegetables together.
Add salt and pepper as desired, and serve with sour dough bread
