The Sweet Potato Soup
Recipe video above. A healthy dose of cumin plus a good amount of onion and leek keeps things interesting with this Sweet Potato Soup! If leeks are a bit pricey, use more onion instead. Serve with a shower of something crunchy - croutons, nuts, crispy shallots. I used pistachios and flatbread ribbon

Instructions
- Sauté aromatics - Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large heavy based pot over medium heat. Cook the onion, leek and garlic for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the sweet potato and cumin, cook for another 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Simmer 20 minutes - Add the stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 20 minutes at a gentle simmer until the sweet potato is very tender (no lid).
- Blitz - Remove the pot from the stove. Blitz with a hand-held stick until smooth. (Note 4 for blender) Stir in cream.
- Garnish - Ladle into bowls. Drizzle with yogurt, cream or olive oil with a sprinkle of something crunchy - pictured with pistachios and crispy flatbread strips (Note 3).
