Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

November 12, 2014 by Katie Bryson

Spicy roasted sweet potato and carrot soup on feedingboys.co.uk

A mug of nourishing roasted root vegetable soup with a spicy Thai kick to savour on a chilly day. Make a batch of this recipe at the weekend, and you’ll have some warming lunches to look forward to during the week.

You don’t have to roast the sweet potato and carrots, but it does bring out a lovely rounded sweetness that sits well with the flavours from the red curry paste. There’s a tin of coconut milk in this recipe, which is a tad indulgent but not only does it result in a silky sweet finish but it also means a portion of this will fill you right up for the afternoon.

The firefighter is proper poorly, totally laid out with some horrible viral bug that’s turned him into a coughing shadow of his former strapping self. So I made this soup to breathe a bit of life back into him. He’s no better sadly, but he is enjoying the soup!

Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup
Serves 4-6
Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 1 hour

Ingredients
1 large sweet potato
3 large carrots
red thai curry paste
sunflower oil
1 x 400ml coconut milk
400ml vegetable stock
Coriander, to serve

Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel and chop the vegetables into large chunks and put in a large bowl. Add a tablespoon of red curry paste along with a glug or two of sunflower oil then toss to coat.

2. Turn out onto a baking tray and then roast in the oven for 30-40mins. Once done transfer into a saucepan with the coconut milk and vegetable stock and another teaspoon of red curry paste. Bring to the boil and then turn down and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle.

3. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little before blitzing with a blender until ultra smooth. Serve with freshly chopped coriander and crusty bread on the side.

Cook yourself better!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
