  • 1 medium sized sweet potato (chopped into matchbox sized pieces).
  • 2 medium onions (skin removed and cut into quarters)
  • 2 whole spring onions (white ends and roots removed)
  • 3 whole tomatoes (or 1 can of tinned tomatoes)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 cups stock (chicken, vegetable or beef)
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder or curry paste of your choice

  • Throw (yes throw) all ingredients into a large pot. Place lid  on, and bring to the boil. When the soup reaches the boil, reduce to  medium heat and let simmer for 20 mins or until potato is cooked through.
  • Place mixture in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Like most of our recipes, it’s THAT simple!
