Sweet Potato Soup



Yesterday I bought sweet potatoes because they were cheap and made soup with them. I couldn't find a recipe, so I made one up. Here is the recipe:

2 brown onions - finely chopped
2 garlic cloves - finely chopped
1 kg peeled and chopped sweet potato (about)
400g tin crushed tomatoes
3/4 cup lentils
1 litre stock - salt reduced chicken
extra water
pepper to season

Fry onions and garlic until golden - the longer the better. Add the sweet potato and cover with stock - add extra water if the vegetables are not covered. Add tin tomatoes and lentils. Bring to boil, and then simmer gently for about 50 minutes or until vegetables and lentils are soft. Blend with bamix and serve with a spoonful of yoghurt. Delicious!
