Hot red pepper and sweet potato soup

>

This warming soup has a lovely hot colour and is packed full with vitamins. Sweet potatoes are a great low GI food so you won’t have hunger pangs for a long time after this! This is a very tangy and spicy “grown -up” soup so you can even serve it at a dinner party but to me this is just the ideal quick and healthy family fare that you want on a cold evening.


Ingredients list:

1 seeded red pepper

Half a red chilli

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 shallots

1 carrot

1 litre of vegetable stock (2 cubes of Maggi)

1 Tbsp of ground cumin and some cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Put everything in a deep pan and bring to the boil. Cook until soft, adding water if necessary. Blitz until smooth. It will be thick and creamy but not too dense.

Serve with a twist of pepper mill and a pinch of cinnamon in each plate.
