Choose your cooking method with this delicious soup; soup maker, stovetop or crockpot.

Ingredients

• 600g sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cubed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2–3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

Instructions

Soup Maker

1. Add Base Ingredients: Put the cubed sweet potatoes, chopped onion, garlic cloves, optional spices, and vegetable stock directly into the soup maker.
2. Cook & Blend: Set your soup maker to the Smooth setting. The machine will cook and blend the soup automatically in 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Serve: Season to taste and ladle into bowls.

Stovetop

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
2. Simmer: Add the sweet potatoes, optional spices, and 800ml vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
3. Blend & Serve: Use an immersion stick blender to purée until smooth, season to taste, and serve hot.

Slow cooker

1. Combine Ingredients: Place the sweet potato cubes, chopped onion, garlic, optional spices, and vegetable stock into the slow cooker pot.
2. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours or LOW for 6–7 hours until the potatoes are completely soft.
3. Blend & Serve: Use a stick blender directly in the pot to blend until smooth, adjust seasoning, and serve.
