  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or ( medium - not extra virgin ) olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion , chopped roughly
  • 1 clove garlic , crushed
  • 1 large carrot or 2 medium ones , peeled and chopped
  • 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium ones. Do not peel , just chop to the same size as the carrot to ensure even cooking.

  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp reduced salt vegetable stock
  • 1/2 red pepper diced

Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes until they start to soften but do not brown.
  2. add the carrot, sweet potato, ginger, turmeric and stock powder. Just cover with boiling water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
  3. add the red pepper and coconut milk.
  4. At this stage Patrick says to blend the soup until thick and smooth.
  5. We like to eat it, as is with the vegetables in chunks.
