Jamie Oliver’s Hodgepodge Soup is a flexible, farm-style vegetable soup made with a mix of root vegetables, green vegetables, peas, herbs, and stock

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 carrots, diced

    • 2 potatoes, cubed

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

    • 1 cup green beans, chopped

    • 2 celery sticks, sliced

    • 1 small leek, sliced

    • 1 handful fresh spinach or cabbage

    • 1.2 litres vegetable or chicken stock

    • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

    • A squeeze of lemon (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Base

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot and sauté the onion, celery, and leek until softened and fragrant.

Step 2: Add Root Vegetables

Stir in the carrots and potatoes and let them cook for a few minutes to build flavour.

Step 3: Pour in the Stock

Add the vegetable or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 4: Add Green Vegetables

Once the root vegetables start to soften, add the peas, green beans, and any softer vegetables you’re using.

Step 5: Simmer Until Tender

Allow the soup to simmer for 20–25 minutes until all vegetables are cooked through and flavours blend.

Step 6: Add Greens and Herbs

Stir in spinach or cabbage during the final few minutes of cooking so they soften without losing colour.

Step 7: Season and Finish

Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Garnish with herbs and serve warm.
