Instruction

  • Spray the bottom of a large soup pan about 5 times with the low fat cooking spray.
  • Heat the soup pan on a high heat, then when the oil starts to bubble, turn the heat down to a lower heat.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure they don’t burn.
  • Add the carrots and cook for a further 2 – 3 minutes, again stirring constantly and add drops of hot water, if required, to prevent the mixture sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the ground ginger and chilli powder. Stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped sweet potato and vegetable stock. Simmer for 20 – 25 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Blitz / puree in a food processor / blender, return to the same pot and re-heat.
