Equipment

  • Blender or immersion blender.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, (do not use sweet paprika)
  • 750 g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-3cm cubes
  • 300 g carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
  • 750 mls chicken stock, or vegetable stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat then, add the onion and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add the paprika and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and carrots and mix well. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Cover partially with a lid to prevent splatter.
  • Once the vegetables are soft, let them cool down, then transfer everything to a blender. You may need to do this in batches depending on your blender size. Blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a little more stock or water.
  • Transfer the soup back to the pan and heat up. Season with salt and pepper and serve with fresh crusty bread.

Recipe Notes
