Sweet no bits soup

[Lauraadele18]

Hi ladies,

Can anyone recommend a sweet tasting healthy soup that has no bits. The kiddies like heinz chicken, oxtail, tomato etc but i dont like all the preservatives in it and would like to make a healthier veg soup. Trouble is they taste earthy or they are thick and bits in which they won't eat.

I have googled for recipes but keep getting sweet potatoe recipes as soon as i mention sweet soup.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks xx

Pea and ham is surprisingly sweet and can be blended totally smooth. I make mine using frozen peas.

If you're worried about preservatives, Heinz tomato soup doesn't have any. It's the canning process that give the longer self like rather than chemical preservatives.

Obviously if it's sugar that's the concern, that doesn't help but I don't think you'll be able make something that competes without the sweetness.

Parsnip and apple or carrot and orange are very sweet. If bits are a huge issue id blend then put through a sieve. Adding single cream or full fat milk reduces thickness without the soup getting too watery.

I do one with carrot, onion, leek and lentils (sometimes I add sweet potatoes but it still tastes sweet without them). Cook in veg stock. Season with tomato purée, oregano, thyme, paprika (all or whichever you fancy). Blitz till smooth.

I think the secret is to use lots of veg and just cover with stock so there is a high veg-stock ratio.

Pea and courgette with mint is nice too, or pea and broccoli. I cook the peas separately in a tiny bit of stock first, then purée them before adding to other ingredients for a smoother texture. Then blitz everything at the end.
