Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 celery stick, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 Maris Piper potato (approx 250g), peeled and diced
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 500ml almond milk, plus extra to taste
- 5g chives, finely snipped,
- 5g fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 200g tin naturally sweet sweetcorn, drained
- fresh bread warmed to serve
Directions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Cook for 6-7 minutes, until the onion is transparent, adding the onion, celery, garlic, and paprika.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flour has dissolved, after adding the potato, chili, and flour.
- Pour in the almond milk (it should barely cover the potatoes; if necessary, top up with cold water) and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
- Stir in the corn until it is thoroughly heated.
- Using a handheld blender or a potato masher, blitz half of the soup, then return the pureed soup to the pan.
- To thin the soup to the desired consistency, add more almond milk.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then top with parsley and chives.
- Serve with hot bread chunks.
