Method

Sweet Potato Soup

  1. Heat the oil in a large stock pot on medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until onions have caramelised, and the carrots have softened.

  4. Using a stick blender, blend on high speed until thick & creamy. Add more vegetable stock, coconut milk, or cream for a thinner consistency.
  5. Serve with caramelised onion rings and rustic bread.
