charliebrown Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Right then, as its getting colder and memories of summer start to fade I thought I would suggest this soup to keep your spirits up. Trust me, its lush! Ingrediants: Equal amounts of Sweet potato and Onion (I prefer Red onion, if you use a normal one I would suggest using more potato) A chilli or two (or plenty if you like it firey) Garlic Vegtable stock A **** of butter (You may choose how large you would like your **** to be) Start by peeling and chopping your Sweet potatos into small cubes. Peel your onions and chop fairly small. In a large pot melt your butter and on a medium heat fry your onions until they are starting to soften Add your Potato and sliced garlic and give the lot another quick fry Add enough stock to just cover the veg Add your chopped chillis Bring it up to simmering and cook until the potatos have gone soft, as if you were going to mash them. Blend the lot up to a nice consistancy. You can add more stock at this point if you like it a bit thinner. Serve in a bowl with a bit of grated cheese and a dash of cream, add some decent crusty bread and your well away. Dead simple dish that tastes great and is nice and filling for those really cold days to come, plus you only have one pan and the blender to wash up, happy days! You can add stuff like like a bit of Paprika if you want, I sometimes add cinnnamon and nutmeg as well. I make up a big pot and leave it on the hob, come home from work or fishing and just turn the gas on to heat it right up while I flick through the paper and tuck in as soon as its heated. That usually lasts me a few days. Edited October 4, 2010 by charliebrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
