Watercress Soup

This is a warming and surprisingly tasty soup.

Ingredients

• 50g butter or coconut oil
• 3 shallots or small onions, peeled and chopped
• 300g (about 3-4 bunches) washed, roughly chopped watercress
• 1 litre stock ( I used the water I boiled gammon in, but you can use any flavour)
• ½ can coconut milk
• pepper

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and gently cook the shallots and watercress for about 10-15 minutes, gently turning them in the butter every few minutes.
2. Add the stock and cook gently (no need to boil) for about 10 – 15 minutes.
3. Blend with a hand blender or in a food processor.
4. Add the coconut milk.
5. season to taste.
