The instruction how to make Ploughmans soup
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic and pancetta and gently cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened slightly but not coloured.
- Add the apple and stir to combine, then add the cider, stock and thyme. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes until the apple is softened. Remove from heat, add the grated cheddar and stand for 10 minutes.
- Discard the thyme sprig, then blend the mixture with a stick blender until smooth (or puree in batches in a blender). Season the soup with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer to a vacuum flask or thermos to transport to the picnic. Garnish with parsley. Serve with bread, chutney and extra cheddar and celery.
