1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1 enormous onion, finely slashed
1 leek, washed and cut
1 medium turnip, stripped and finely slashed
3 carrots, finely slashed
3 celery sticks, managed and finely slashed
3 liters sheep stock
200g kale slashed

Flush the soup blend and absorb cold water for 8 hrs or short-term, canvassed in a cool spot. Channel and wash well.

Heat the oil in a huge dish and broil the onion, leek, turnip, carrots and celery for 10 mins, covered with a top, until delicate however not brilliant. Add a liberal touch of salt and a decent crushing of pepper.
