- While the soup is cooking, rinse the watercress and remove any large or tough stems (reserve 4 to 6 whole sprigs to garnish the soup) then coarsely chop the rest of the watercress.
- Once the soup vegetables are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat and use a hand blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- Return the soup to medium heat and bring to a very gentle bubble, then add the chopped watercress.
- Cook for a minute or two, then divide among serving bowls, garnishing each with a reserved sprig of watercress.
