chickencam Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As requested here is the recipe, it serves 4 and is taken from The Soup Book by the Soil Association 2tbsp Oilive oil 1 Onion chopped 2 Garlic cloves finely chopped 2 tsp Fresh ginger finely grated 1/4 tsp dried crushed chillies 450g Sweet potatoes cut into small chunks 1 Red pepper deseeded and chopped 230g can tomatoes ( I used a 400g tin because that was all I had ) 1 tsp Cumin seeds dry roasted dry roasted and crushed 1tsp Coriander seeds dry roasted and crushed (I roasted them in a dry pan then ground in my spice ginder) 900ml Hot vegetable stock 2-3 tbsp smooth or crunchy peanut butter (didn't use because DS & YD don't like peanut butter and it was nice already) Few drops of Tabasco (optional) Chilli oil, to serve Heat oil in large pan, add onion and fry for 3 minutes, stir in ginger, garlic and chilli, fry for a further minute, then stir in sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and spices, fry for a further 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and simmer until the vegetables are tender, the recipe says 12-15 minutes, I found it took more like 20 minutes. Remove from the heat then blend, add peanut butter and Tabasco if using and serve drizzled with chilli oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Sounds yummy......I love sweet potato and also butternut squash; reminds me that I have a recipe for butternut squash and peanut butter soup which is wonderful too. Must be nearly autumn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I made this for lunch today and it went down very well. I left the vegetables a bit chunky, just mashing them down a bit because I have no blender currently. Also I used a bit of tahini instead of the peanut butter (not much though because it has quite a strong taste). Husband had two helpings even though he is not a lover of sweet potato! Can recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I must make this again now autumn is upon us, I think that it would also work with pumpkin or squash. I didn't use the peanut butter because I have two kids that don't like it and it was great without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
