Easy vegetable soup. use whatever vegetables you have in your cupboard or fridge. This version I had some leeks, carrots and an onion.
Start by putting a kettle of water to boil.
Chop all the vegetables into small pieces (the smaller the better gives a bigger surface area and will speed up the cooking time)
Put the chopped vegetables into a large pan and pour over the boiling water. Fill the pan until the vegetables are covered and then another inch (2.5cm) above that.
Add in a tablespoon of vegetable bouillon.
Boil until the hardest vegetable is soft and then use a hand blender to blend into a soup.
while the vegetables are boiling dry toast the sun flower seeds until they start popping, then remove off the heat and put to one side
To serve serve pour the soup into bowls and gently put a handful of toasted seeds on top of the soup.
