2 punnets of garden cress (± 100 g)

2 floury potatoes
20 g butter
1 litre vegetable stock
100 ml cream

Method

Chop the onion, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes.

Snip the cress and add it, keeping back a small handful. Blend straight away.
Stir in the cream, season and scatter the rest of the cress over each bowl.

Storing: Eat the soup fresh: reheated it loses its lovely colour. One day in the fridge.
