Creamy Rocket and Watercress Soup in the Multicooker Redmond
This light, refreshing and creamy rocket and watercress soup was just the thing we needed after a week of over indulgence.
Especially a week which involved a fab five course fortieth birthday party (where I met the coolest jazz musician in town), a three course supper with a whole load of cheese, testing about three different doughnut recipes (oh yeah), and a girly catch up that involved five different types of cake. Cue lots of very long walks to burn off the calories, trampoline jumps and endless bowls of healthy soups like this one.
This soup with a simple base of onion, potato, rocket and watercress is very easy to make in my Multicooker Redmond. But don’t be fooled by the small list of ingredients. It packs a huge punch in terms of flavour. Plus watercress is a super food with lots of anti-oxidants, vitamins, iron, calcium and fibre. This is a soup you want to have in your life.
And if you have not yet come across a Multicooker, then pop over to the Redmond website and check them out. In the last few weeks, I have been experimenting with a lot of soups and some summer slow cooking in mine. Actually, I’m finding it better to use the multicooker for this kind of thing than a slow cooker – with this multicooker you can do everything in one pot, much easier!

The soup looks gorgous, what a vibrant colour! I love your china, too!
Beautiful looking soup and great flavours, I love watercress in anything.
I was never a fan of watercress itself but I’m sure in the soup it tastes as superb as it looks! x
You can just use rocket instead Sylvia.
The soup looks sooo lovely and delicious! And making it in the multicooker sounds awesome:-)
I love a recipe w/ few ingredients that still brings the flavor. Great job on this one. Thanks for introducing me to the multi cooker. I’m always interested in new cooking gadgets.
