Winter warming spicy soup
I love soups, they are easy to make, you can freeze them, have them for lunch or dinner and they are super warming on a winters day, this is a favourite!
Sweet Potato Winter Warmer!
A sweet potato soup with chilli and ginger is blended until smooth to serve:
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes peeled and roughly chopped
1 large white potato peeled and roughly chopped
1 pint of chicken or vegetable stock add more if required
1 dessert spoon of grated ginger (add more if you like it hot)
1 small red chilli finely chopped or 1/2 teaspoon of hot chilli powder
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic crushed
1 dessert spoon of coconut oil
In a large saucepan, add the oil onions and garlic. Soften over a low heat until the onions and garlic are clear and not brown. Then add all the vegetables and cook for a further 10 minutes until the vegetables are softening.
Add the ginger and chilli, and stir. Add the stock and cook until the vegetables are soft. Taste and add a little salt and pepper and if too spicy a little sugar (just a little bit!).
With a hand blender, smooth the soup and serve.
Lovely with some toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds and a dusting of paprika.
For added antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits add a teaspoon of turmeric before you blend.
yum. I use a little coconut milk if its too spicy xx
