Vegetable Broth

vegetable broth

Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 1-2 minutes, to soften.

Pour the ale and the red wine into the pan.

Crumble in the stock cube and add a splash of hot water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for four minutes.

Add the finely diced vegetables and continue to simmer for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Remove from the heat and stir in the chives and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Ladle the soup into a serving bowl and serve at once.
