Soup - Sweet Potato and Lime

Ingredients for 2 servings. 

1. 150/200 g of finely chopped onions.
2. 200/250 g of peeled and sliced sweet potato.
3. juice of three small limes.
4. enough olive oil, to cover pan bottom.
5. 300 ml veggie stock (half a cube in hot water).
6. salt and pepper.

 About the ingredients

 

Try and get the purple skinned, white flesh sweet potatoes for the best taste.  Japanese I think.  S P oxidise very easily, turning black which is not nice.  Put the slices imediately into a bowl of water until you are ready to use them. 

 

I use small limes because they are stronger tasting and compliment the S P's better.  Best results from real limes, of course. 

 

Method

 

Always the same.  Sweat the onions in the olive oil till soft, add salt and pepper (only a tad).  Pour in the stock and add the slices of S P.  Simmer till S P's are soft.  Liquidise and add lime juice.  This soup is Gek's flavourite!!!
