Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup

I love the combination of flavours in this hearty soup. The sweetness from the potatoes go perfectly with the ginger, turmeric and curry powder. It doesn't take long to make - just boil the potatoes (and lentils if necessary) and then blend it altogether!

Try the carrot and sweet potato pancakes if you can't get enough of sweet potato goodness!
