JennyB's Bubble and Squeak Soup

Served at Tatton Park Christmas Barbeque

Olive oil
2 large onions, roughly diced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut in rough 1cm dice
1 litre vegetable stock
250 g Brussels sprouts, finely shredded and rinsed
125 ml single cream
Salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg

Heat the oil and add the onions. Cook until soft and transparent, then add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 mins until the vegetables are totally cooked.
Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of grated nutmeg. Bring to the boil and add the shredded sprouts. Allow the soup to simmer vigorously for 6-8 mins or until the sprouts become tender.
The soup can now be liquidized ( I prefer to use a hand blitzer in the saucepan as it means less washing-up).
Add the cream and check the seasoning.

This soup eats well with crispy streaky bacon strips crumbled and sprinkled on top

This will serve between 4-6, so just increase the quantities for more servings. I also sometimes throw a few parsnips in for extra flavour and have also used sour cream or creme fraiche instead of single cream.

The soup also freezes very well - it's worth keeping some pots in the freezer to take on camping trips!
