fitting lid and sweat on a low heat for about 10 minutes until the
vegetables are soft but not coloured.

4 Puree the soup in batches in a food processor or with a hand held
blender. Pour back into the pan, season to taste and add the cream and/or
milk. Re-heat gently, ladle into bowls and garnish with thyme leaves and
thyme or chive flowers, if available, to serve.
