Notes
Sweet Potato and Carrots
The weights are approximate - you can use more or less of each vegetable. A rough weight of 800g - 900g will produce a thick soup in a 1.6L soup maker.
Making it in a Morphy Richards Compact Soup Maker
Reduce the combined amount of sweet potato and carrots to around 500g.
Variations
- Roast the vegetables beforehand to bring out more flavour.
- Spice it up with 1 tsp cumin, chilli powder or chilli flakes.
