Simon Wood's Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup

Although you can buy soups very cheaply nowadays, I don't think you can buy one that tastes as good as a homemade version. This soup is full of root vegetables, vegetables that you can buy in autumn and winter time, so things like swede, parsnips, carrots etc. Feel free to change some of the vegetables listed below to whatever you have in your cupboards.

INGREDIENTS

2 spoons of green pesto
1 clove of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 big spoon of tomato puree
½ swede, peeled and diced (optional)
½ tin of chopped tomatoes
1 carrot, sliced
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
a few knobs of butter
2 sticks of celery, peeled and finely sliced
½ onion, peeled and finely sliced
1 leek, finely sliced
500ml vegetable stock
