Equipment
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 onion peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 300 g swede peeled and diced (1cm cubes)
- 300 g carrots scrubbed and diced (1 cm cubes)

Instructions
- Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the onion and spices for 5 minutes until starting to brown and soften.

- Pour over the stock and cover the pan. Simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Check occasionally that the vegetables aren't starting to stick to the pan.

Notes
If you prefer, use a tablespoon of curry powder rather than individual spices. You could also add a little chilli powder if you'd prefer a hotter flavour.
