- IF you want your soup a bit thicker I quickly use a hand held blender and pulse it a couple of times but dont completely blend it or it will be too thick still leave some potato chunks. tastes even better the next day.
- you can also use 1kg of bintje or pink fir apple potatoes.

Nice! At first I thought it was a bit bland after removing from the pot and taking the photo but then realised I'd forgotten the cream and parsely which made a world of difference after returning to the heat and adding.

Well I have two gorgeous kids a 2 year old boy(soon to be 3) and a 9 mth old girl, so I have been very lucky to have one of each! I remember growing up and eating the most yummiest food that my mum would cook for us so I am carrying on the tradition and starting my own favourite recipes for my family to grow up on and this is where this great website comes in! I love to travel, go to the beach, animals, going to theme parks, zoos etc, art and crafts the list goes on. I am currently a stay at home mum living with my partner and enjoying every minute of bringing up my beautiful babies.
