Sweet Potato, Lentil, Apple and Carrot soup
Pretty amazing sweet potato, lentil, apple and carrot soup. We need to think of a shorter name for this.The kids were like, what are you putting in that soup!It turned out amazing though and they've asked for it again.
Ingredients
- 100 grams butter
- 2 large sweet potatoes roughly chopped
- 3 large carrots roughly chopped
- 1 apple peeled, cored, roughly chopped
- 1 medium brown onion roughly chopped
- ½ cup red lentils washed
- 1 thumb ginger finely chopped
- ½ tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder1
- 1 cube vegetable stock
Instructions
- Add the 100g of butter to a large pot on medium heat.
- Throw in the sweet potatoes, carrots, apple and onion and cook for around 10 minutes or until the onions are kinda translucent.
- Add the washed lentils, ginger if using, black pepper, salt, cumin, chilli powder and paprika. Mix it all up.
- Make up like 500ml of vege broth with a stock cube and boiling water and pour that in too.
- Now you need to blend the whole thing. Ideally you have a stick blender which you can just stick in the pot.
- If not you're going to need to carefully pour the soup into a standing blender and zap it until smooth.
- Alternatively, I guess you could us a potato masher to mush it all up, the soup will be a bit more chucky but should taste just as good.
