Ingredients:
2 Large Potatoes

Chop all the vegetables except the spinach into a medium sized dice. Sweat the chopped veg in a small knob of butter for about 5 minutes without colouring too much. Add the cold water and veg stock and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper. After 10 minters the potatoes should be cooked, then add the washed spinach/nettles and cook for a further 3 minutes. Liquidize and pass the soup thorough a fine sieve. Add the cream, check the seasoning warm and serve. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with drops of truffle oil & poached eggs or stilton on small toasts.
