Mary Berry’s Vegetable Soup is a classic homemade soup made with a medley of chopped vegetables gently simmered in stock until tender. It’s versatile, as you can adjust the vegetables according to the season, and it can be served smooth or chunky depending on your preference.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 2 celery sticks, sliced

  • 2 potatoes, diced

  • 1 leek, sliced

  • 1 courgette, chopped

  • 1.5 litres vegetable or chicken stock

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 tsp dried thyme or mixed herbs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare vegetables

Wash, peel, and chop all vegetables into even-sized pieces for consistent cooking.

Step 2: Sauté the base

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, cooking gently for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Add remaining vegetables

Stir in potatoes, leek, and courgette. Cook for 2–3 minutes to release flavour.

Step 4: Simmer the soup

Pour in stock, add bay leaf and herbs, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Adjust seasoning

Remove bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and taste for balance.

Step 6: Serve hot

Serve chunky, or blend for a smooth soup. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
