Sweet potato and carrot soup

This wonderfully creamy soup couldn’t be easier to make. Its bright orange colour reflects the high level of carotenoids in these year round vegetables. A good alternative to sweet potato is butternut squash.

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 250g (9oz) sweet potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
• 250g (9oz) carrots, scrubbed and finely chopped

• 1/2 - 1 clove garlic (to taste), crushed
• black pepper (to taste)

Method

2. Puree the soup in a blender with the coconut milk, garlic and black pepper, then serve.
