INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon of oil of choice

•  2 onions, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 teaspoon curry powder (not essential but adds flavour)

• 4 sweet potato, peeled and chopped (Kumara is best)

  DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan on high, sauté onion, garlic and curry powder if using for 2-3 minutes or until onion is tender.

2. Add sweet potato and cook stirring for a minute. Pour over water. Season to taste I like to add a little pepper.

3. Bring to the boil, lower heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes until the potato is tender.

4. Reserve a few pieces of the sweet potato then puree the remaining mixture.

5. Reheat the soup stirring in the chunks.
