Watercress Soup With Jersey Royals

This soup is so vibrant and fresh – which is why you add the watercress right at the very end to retain that colour. You don’t have to use Jersey Royals, any potatoes will do. This soup also freezes very well, plus you can add prawns, smoked salmon and smoked haddock, which will turn it into a full-blown meal.
