Soupmaker: Cream of Sweet Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 100 g Leeks sliced finely.
- 50 g Onion sliced finely.
- 550 g Sweet Potato chopped into small pieces.
- 10 g Rapeseed Oil.
- 1 Teaspoon Salt.
- 1 Teaspoon Finely Ground Pepper.
- 2 Vegetable Stock Cubes.
- 1 Teaspoon Turmeric.
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika.
- 1 Teaspoon Nigella Seeds.
- 1 Star Anise.
- Half Lemon.
- Water to top up to 1600ml Level.
- 100 ml Cream - Optional
Instructions
- Saute the leek and onion with the salt in the rapeseed oil.
- Add all the other ingredients to the pot, apart from the lemon and the cream.
- Select the chunky setting. For me, I remove the star anise before blending for a smooth soup.
- When the soup is finished, squeeze in the lemon juice of half a lemon. I remove the star anise and eat chunky, or as my kids prefer, blended to a smooth puree as in the image.
- If you are freezing any of this recipe, do so before adding any cream. The soup will be fairly sweet.
