Swede & Winter Herb Broth with Mix #1

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Swede & Winter Herb Broth with Mix #1
Broth Mix Camelina Seeds

by Henrietta Inman February 28, 2021

A wonderful, warming soup for winter and the spring hungry gap from Henrietta Inman, Wakelyns resident cook and baker.

Swede - such a beautiful unsung winter vegetable! At this time of year through the end of winter and the spring hungry gap, we should be even more grateful for the wonderful produce that we do have available on our doorstep in the UK.

Swede is too often overlooked. It makes a perfect pairing with Hodmedod's beautiful, multi-coloured, many-textured, diverse and delicious broth mix. Do try it in this broth, a lovely warming, light and bright winter to spring soup for the changing of the seasons.

Makes 10

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Mix #1 - Broth Mix  or Mix #4 - Gluten-free Broth Mix
  • 3 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
  • 40g butter - I like Fen Farm Dairy
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 1 large carrot , diced
  • 1 large celery stick, diced
  • 700g swede, cubed a little larger than the above
  • 3 tsp salt, more to taste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 5 sage leaves
  • Good few sprigs thyme
  • Sprig rosemary
  • Small bunch parsley if you have it

Method

  1. The night before, soak the broth mix in enough water to cover. Strain and rinse.
  2. Melt the oil and butter in a large deep pan. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook well until the vegetables are golden, becoming caramelised and smelling sweet. This is a soffrito meaning ‘fried slowly’ in Italian. A great base for soups, stews, pasta fillings and spelt-oto like dishes.
  3. Whilst cooking, tie up the herbs, then add to the vegetables with the swede, salt and the soaked broth mix and mix well. Add 2 litres water, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and lower to a simmer for at least 1 hour or until all the components of the broth mix are to your preferred texture, al dente or softer.
  4. If you need to add more water, do! Taste for seasoning.
  5. Serve the broth with anything you like. Bread or toast and butter, homemade croutons, a sprinkling of camelina and flax seeds and extra parsley, or try bashing up a few tbsp of toasted coriander seeds with cobnuts and any cold-pressed good quality oil for a delicious warming spice and nut oil. A dollop of Fen Farm’s mascarpone, St Jude cow’s curd or an egg are all good toppings too. Hope you enjoy it!

Sweet Potato, Wheat Bran and Apple Tea Loaf

Sweet Potato, Wheat Bran and Apple Tea Loaf

January 01, 2026

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.

Oatcakes with Redcurrant & Chia Relish

December 23, 2025

These wholesome oatcakes with festive redcurrant relish make a wonderfully simple yet elegant addition to any Christmas table. Combining the nutty richness of oats, puffed quinoa and wholemeal flour, they’re crisp at the edges and soft within, the perfect base for a jewel-bright relish of redcurrants, berries, apple, and orange. Sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced, this colourful topping brings a burst of seasonal flavour that pairs beautifully with the earthy oatcakes. Delicious served with Greek yoghurt and honey, they make a festive breakfast, afternoon treat, or a cheerful nibble for holiday gatherings.
