Method
- Peel and chop the potato, onion and carrot; peel the garlic clove.
- Put them in a pot with 1.2 L of water and the salt. Once boiling, cook for 20 minutes over medium heat, until the vegetables are very soft.
- Meanwhile, wash the watercress well, separate the leaves and thinner stalks and chop roughly.
- Blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth. Add the watercress and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, just until wilted and bright green.
- Check the salt, turn off the heat and stir in the raw olive oil. Serve hot.
Shopping tip
Watercress in bunches or washed bags, in any chain. For a potato-free soup, swap it for 1 courgette and half a cup of cooked white beans.
