Cheap and easy to make, a great autumn/winter warmer. A real crowd pleaser for bonfire night and similar.

Steps

30-40mins

1

Gently heat the oil and add the thinly sliced onion. Cover and gently cook to fully soften. Stirring occasionally. Peel and dice the potato and set aside. Boil a full kettle.
2

Peel and finely chop the garlic and thyme leaves, add to the onions and continue to cook.
3

Add sugar, spices and butter, cook to caramelise for a further 2 minutes allowing to brown lightly. Add potatoes and gently fry for another 2-3mins.
4

Add stock made with 900ml and 1 vegetable. Cover and gentle simmer for 20-30mins until the potatoes will crush against the side of the pan.
5

Blend until smooth (add more liquid if needed) finish with creamy milk and season to taste. Feel free to add more spices if needed. I like to finish mine with toasted caraway seeds, a drizzle of oil, crispy smoked bacon lardons and diced cubes of Brie. Yum!
