*0298kcal[9.2][10/10]* Sweet Potato & Lime Soup

Bazaar: Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes- Sabrina Ghayour. I love sweet potatoes in any way, shape or form. There is something addictive about their sweet and pleasingly digestible nature which I find genuinely comforting. In this delicious soup, their sweetness is balanced beautifully with fresh lime – and a crumble of feta on top makes it more of a meal.

Step 1

Place a large saucepan over a medium heat. Pour in enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until softened and translucent, without browning.

Step 2

Mix the sweet potato chunks and garlic cloves into the saucepan and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until the edges begin to soften, without colouring.

Step 3

Stir in the oregano and the spices, then pour in the boiling water. Mix well, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the sweet potato is cooked through.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blitz. If the soup seems too thick, add boiling water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Return the soup to the saucepan and mix in the lime zest and juice. Season to taste, then cook for a further 15 minutes over a medium-low heat.

Step 6

Serve with the crumbled feta on top, a drizzle of olive oil and extra chilli flakes, if desired.
