This soup is a family favourite. It is healthy, easy and quick to make, delicious, satisfying and freezes well too. I love making extra to take for lunch for the working week.

Cooking Instructions

In a deep-bottomed pot, melt the coconut oil. Add the crushed garlic, chopped onions and sweet potato chunks and sauté for 5 mins.

Add the stock and bring to the boil.

Simmer the soup for approx. 13 mins until the vegetables are all soft (you can check this by poking a fork through a couple of the sweet potato chunks).

Remove from the heat. If using silken tofu or protein powder add this now and blend to make a creamy soup. (A hand-blender is great for this!)

Return the blended soup to the hob and on a low heat stir in the sweet corn, sliced peppers, most of the chopped chilli and spring onions. Stir for about 3-4 mins until cooked through.

Stir in the cashew cream or coconut cream, if using.

Stir in the milled chia seeds or protein powder if using.

Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and salt.

Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped spring onion, a few slices of chopped chilli and some finely chopped parsley. Enjoy!

To transform this soup into a chowder, you have options! You can add coconut cream, cashew cream or silken tofu – they all work well!
