Salami & Mixed Vegetable Soup with Croutons

This soup is from the third weekly meal planner. It is for 2 people to have twice during the week. If you want to make it vegetarian, just leave out the salami, in which case you might like to add a handful of red lentils for the protein

a dish of croutons.

The salami gives a good punch of flavour. You can whizz it smooth, or leave it chunky.

What you need to make Salami & Mixed Vegetable Soup

  • 1 salami stick from pack of 4
  • 150g onion, peeled and sliced
  • 200g carrots, diced, no need to peel
  • 100g swede, peeled and diced
  • 300g potatoes, diced, no need to peel, give them a good wash, we don’t want any grit
  • a bay leaf if you have any
  • for the croutons
  • 2 slices bread from value loaf
  • tblsp oil

How to make Salami & Mixed Vegetable Soup

if you are following meal plan 3, the swede is using up some from that shopping list, so if you are not following the meal planner, use it if you have it, if you don’t it doesn’t matter at all

  • Chop the vegetables quite small and put them all in a pan with the fine chopped salami. Saute gently until the vegetables are soft, add a little oil if you need it, but you should get enough from the salami.
  • Add 1.5 litres water and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as required
  • While the soup is simmering, make the croutons. Put a little oil in a frying pan, add the bread cubes and fry gently until they are crispy. I like them with a sprinkle of salt. You may like to flavour them as in this post. Sprinkle a few croutons over the top of each bowl of soup. Add a swirl of cream or yogort if you have it and want to use it
