How to make this delicious sweet potato soup

Peel, slice and dice the following vegetables

Heat a little groundnut or olive oil in a heavy based saucepan. Chuck all the vegetables in and stir then around so they are coated. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Pour in 1 and a half pints of homemade vegetable or chicken stock and bring the pan to the boil. Then turn down the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, which will take about 25 minutes. Season with a little freshly ground sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Let it cool down slightly, then pour into a blender or liquidizer and puree for a couple of minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Variations I like to pop in any left over rice or millet from the day before, just before the vegetables are cooked. The grains are already cooked they just need heating through. This adds a little more goodness to this already nutritious, sweet potato soup.
