Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup

Another simple soup to make either in a soup maker or in a pan on the stove.

Soupmakers

I have a Russell Hobbs soup maker which I love because I can just throw the ingredients together and walk away.

Are soup makers really necessary? Of course not, but I like my kitchen gadgets and I know the soup won’t overflow or burn. It also makes the perfect quantity for me.

Ingredients

• 300 g raw carrots(3 large)
• 130 g raw onion
• 90 g red bell pepper
• Approx 5 g chilli pepper chopped with scissors
• I like chilli and this was half of a small red one
• 2 basics stock cubes or Vegan stock cubes
• 210 g sweet potato peeled weight (one small one)

Method

• Chop everything and add to soup maker
• Or put in a pan and cook with enough water to reach 1.6 litres in soup maker.
• I think approx 800 ml/1 litre in a pan.
• Set or smooth setting for Soup maker or cook until soft then blend
• Makes 4 x 400 ml servings
• Approx 95 calories per serving
• Cost approx 20 p per serving
