This hearty soup is a celebration of the humble swede – an often-overlooked root vegetable that has a wonderfully sweet, earthy flavour. It’s paired with smoky paprika and lentils in this creamy soup, then served with garlicky, cheesy scones for dunking.

Method

Hide images
step 1
To make the soup, heat a splash of olive oil in a large casserole over a medium heat and add the soffritto mix (250 g). Sauté for 5-10 minutes, until softened, then stir in the swede (1) and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the lentils (200 g), smoky flavour pot (1), smoked paprika (1 tsp), and 1.2L boiling water.
step 2
Bring to a simmer then cover, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 30 minutes, until the lentils and swede are tender (add a splash more water if it looks too thick). Blitz briefly with a hand blender, leaving some chunkier pieces.
step 3
Meanwhile, to make the scones, preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 and line a 25 x 30cm baking sheet with parchment paper.
step 4
Sift the flour (175 g) into a bowl then stir in the mustard powder (1/2 tsp). Rub in the butter (25 g) with your fingertips, then stir in the Lancashire cheese (75 g) and chives (1 tbsp).
step 5
Beat in the egg (1) and 2.5 tablespoons of the buttermilk (2 1/2 tbsp). Mix with a knife then your hands to create a soft dough, being careful not to work. Add a splash more buttermilk if it seems too dry.
step 6
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface 2.5cm thick, shaping to create one big round. Score into six pieces with a knife.
step 7
Brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle with the grated parmesan (25 g). Bake for 15-20 minutes, until risen and golden.
step 8
When the scones are almost done, melt the garlic butter (50 g) in a pan. Brush the melted garlic butter over the tops of the warm. Serve with the soup.
