It’s been a while

Hello,

I know I’ve been MIA for a little bit.  It’s because I’ve been busy.

Between clients, planning for a big thing coming up and family, I lost track of time.

So I’ll tell you about what I’ve done this morning.  I made soup.  According to Little Miss, soup fixes everything.

So here’s today’s soup recipe.

Thai inspired sweet potato and pumpkin soup.

1 large sweet potato

500gms of Butternut pumpkin

1 stick of lemongrass

1 medium onion

1 bunch of coriander

1 knob of ginger

2 cups of stock

1 small can of coconut milk

Spray of cooking oil.

Chop up the onion, lemon grass, ginger and the roots and stems of the coriander finely.

Cube the sweet potato and pumpkin.

Spray pot with the cooking oil.  Fry off the onion, lemon grass, ginger, coriander roots.  Add the pumpkin and potato and cook until slightly coloured.

Add stock plus a little extra water.  Simmer until pumpkin and potato are soft.  Add coconut milk and blitz with a stick blender until really smooth.

Add the coriander leaves and serve.

Very tasty.  You can also add in some chili if you wish.

Enjoy.
