Peel the carrots and parsnips and chop into rough chunks. Finely chop the onion and slice the leek. Chop the potatoes into rough chunks.
Add the olive oil to a large pan and place on a medium heat. Fry the leeks and onions for 5 minutes until starting to soften.
Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, sage and thyme. Turn the heat up to medium-high and fry for another 5 minutes, stirring well.
Pour the vegetable stock into the pan and mix well. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and turn the heat down. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked through.
Blend using a stick blender (or pour into a blender and blitz in batches) before serving.
As an optional extra: Swirl some cream into the soup before serving and/or fry some sage leaves in butter until crispy, before using them to top the soup.
