Ingredients
Switch to Cup Measures- 2 onions (chopped)
- 12.7 cm fresh root ginger (peeled and finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 0.71 litres chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
- 2 limes (juiced and zested)
Method
- Heat a couple of teaspoons of oil in a pan and cook the onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the ginger, garlic and continue to cook, stirring so it doesn't catch on the pan, for a few minutes.
- Add the sweet potato and cook for about 10 minutes approximately, stirring occasionally to prevent it sticking.
- When the potatoes are evenly cooked, and fairly tender(ish) add the stock and the lime zest.
- Put a lid loosely on the pan and cook until the potato is tender. They should break up easily when pushed against the side of the pan.
- Allow to cool slightly and liquidise. Add the lime juice and gently reheat (you can add the creme fraiche at this stage for a creamy soup, or just add a spoonful to the served soup).
- Season and add nutmeg.
