This is the result - Confirmation Soup - it is truly delicious and everyone i've made the soup for since has loved it. It's best served warm with nice fresh bread.
You will need:
1 Kilo Sweet Potato (I know potatoes don't come in regular weights - but near enough will be fine).
2 Large Carrots.
1 Leek.
2 Cloves Garlic.
1 Large Onion.
1/4 tsp Thyme.
Small Pinch of Saffron (optional).
2-21/2 Pints of Stock - (I've used one Stockpot - but you can use your own or fresh bought also).
Salt & Pepper.
I haven't forgotten the Carrot - its in the bowl with the Sweet Potato - Just checking to see if you were paying attention! Ha ha.
Stir the vegetables in the oil and allow to soften a little.
Stir in.
Reduce heat and leave to simmer until the vegetables are cooked - or 90 mins if possible.
The longer you allow the soup to cook the better the flavour.
If you prefer your soup a little chunkier. Remove 1/3 of the soup before blending.
Add back to the pot afterwards.
Sprinkle on some fresh Herbs, e.g. Parsley or Coriander.
Serve and enjoy!
