Roasted Sweet Potato and Tomato Soup

The weather here has descended into thinking its winter again with hail storms and high winds so a big snuggly bowl of soup is exactly whats called for. I love sweet potatoes and I love tomato soup so I decided I would combine the two and see what happened. This soup is quick and easy to make and feels like a hug in a bowl. I found this makes two bigger portions but the recipe is easy to scale up.

Ingredients:

Two medium sweet potatoes
4 salad tomatoes
1 bell pepper
4 cloves garlic
salt
pepper
olive oil
hot water

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180c fan. Wash and chop the sweet potatoes into bite sized pieces and place on a baking tray. Chop the tomatoes and pepper into roughly same sized pieces and mix with the sweet potato. Coat with olive oil and season with the salt and pepper then place in the oven for around 20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft.

Once the potato is soft, place everything into a non-stick pan then blitz with a blender. Add in hot water to thin the mixture then warm through on the hob.

Serve with a lump of crusty bread.

Enjoy!
