Carrot and sweet potato soup
Serves 6 + glutenfree + vegan

I use the pink fleshed american sweet potato for this recipe. It's sweetness combines with the carrot to produce a deep, rich soup

Actually it's more like a thick spicy stew. Feel free to add more curry powder.

50ml olive oil
2 tsp fennel seeds
4 large carrots
300g sweet potatoes
1/2 cup basmati rice
2 bay leaves
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 litres veg stock
Salt and pepper
Juice 1 lemon
Fresh coriander
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and temper the oil with the fennel seeds.Add the chopped carrots and sweet potato and cook out for a few minutes. Add the spices, bay leaves and the rice and cook out for 2 minutes. Then add the vegetable stock and Simmer until tender (about 20 mins). Cool, add the fresh coriander, season with salt, plenty of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
