The Anti Dairy Fairy

Well after disembowling the pumpkin so that Ella could make a nice scary lantern for Halloween – yes I have never grown up – I had a nice bowlful of pumpkin that I needed to be creative with. Then I remembered a lovely recipe for sweet potato soup and so here we go (I just added the pumpkin to it to see what it was like and it works) :-

Sweet Potato Soup (pumpkin optional)

1 tsp olive oil
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 large red pepper (deseeded & chopped)
1 1/2 lb sweet potato (peeled & chopped)
150ml coconut milk
1 pt vegetable stock (more if you want it)

Cook the onion in the olive oil until soft but not brown and add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the sweet potato, pepper (and pumpkin if you have it) and then pour in the stock. Bring all this to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes until all the veg is soft. When cool whiz in the blender. Add the coconut milk when heating up soup and seasoning of your choice (mine’s ooodles of black pepper) and then serve. You can top with a little corriander if you have it or some yummy croutons.

Enjoy.

Serge this one’s for you.
