This clean vegan soup near kills me, because it contains very few ingredients, but it is unbelievably delicious! It is particularly good to make when you are trying to ward off that lingering flu/cold and you want to build up your immune system (which is how this recipe was born).
It centres around one main ingredient – the sweet potato. The sweetness of this tuber, together with the curry powder, delivers an explosion of flavour as well as providing some amazing health benefits along the way.
Curcumin is the magical phytonutrient in turmeric, which is the main ingredient in curry powder and is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralise harmful cancer-causing free radicals, reduce inflammation, slow the growth of tumours and helps build up our immunity.
I like doubling this recipe so that I can freeze the left overs (which lasts well for up to 3 weeks). Enjoy!
