Creamy Vegetable soup

General recipe with no amounts, just make the amount that looks write for your family.
We are a family of 7 so we make a lot :)

Chop up what ever vegetables you have available and throw them in a pot

Add some garlic, salt, pepper, mixed herbs or what ever spices take your fancy ( stock powder is good too)

Fill with water or stock till just below the top veggies

bring to the boil then let simmer until your veggies are super soft

Blend, stir through a dollop of cream and hey presto you have soup :)
