Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver Cream of Vegetable Soup is a blended vegetable soup made by gently sautéing mixed vegetables, simmering them in stock, and blending until smooth. A small amount of cream or milk adds richness, creating a velvety texture without heaviness.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 2 carrots, diced

    • 1 leek, sliced

    • 1 potato, diced (for thickness)

    • 1 small courgette, chopped

    • 750 ml vegetable or chicken stock

    • 100 ml milk or light cream

    • Salt and black pepper

    • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Build the flavour base

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent. This forms the foundation of flavour.

Step 2: Add the vegetables

Stir in carrots, leek, potato, and courgette. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the vegetables and release their natural sweetness.

Step 3: Add stock and simmer

Pour in the stock, ensuring the vegetables are fully covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Blend until smooth

Remove from heat and blend using a hand blender until silky and smooth. For an extra refined texture, blend thoroughly and strain if desired.

Step 5: Add cream and season

Return to low heat and stir in milk or cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently without boiling.

Step 6: Serve

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
