Equipment
- Large pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 garlic clove minced or finely diced
- 3 cups sweet potato diced
- 2 cups sweetcorn
- ½ cup bell pepper diced
- 1 small carrot diced
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
- 1.5 cups vegetable stock
- ½ cup coconut milk
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
- pinch fresh parsley diced
Instructions
- In a large pot fry the onion and garlic in olive oil on a low heat for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the vegetables and spices and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower to a very gentle simmer and pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Cook for 20-25 minutes so the vegetables are fork tender.
- Pour about a third of the mixture into a food processor or blender and blend, then pour back into the pan. Stir well, and then transfer to your bowls. Sprinkle over salt and black pepper, if using, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Dice the vegetables fairly small as most will remain whole and won't be blended.
- The chowder be entirely blended, but I think it feels much more hearty to just blend a little to thicken.
- An immersion blender can be used for a few moments if you do not have a food processor or blender.
- Adjust the amount of spice to preference. This isn't a 'hot' soup in terms of spice, much a fragrant chowder.
- If you do wish to have a more heat and it works for you, then a teaspoon of hot paprika can be used in place of sweet paprika.
- Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- garlic, which scores 1.
- black pepper, which scores 2 and is optional.
- vegetable stock will vary depending on the brand and ingredients.
