Try this delicious zingy soup

Ingredients:

600 g orange sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3cm cubes

6 cup salt-reduced liquid chicken or vegetable stock

1 medium onion, roughly chopped

1/2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

1 long red chilli, seeded and finely chopped

50 g raw pine nuts

100 g goats cheese, roughly crumbled

1 Tbsp baby basil leaves

6 thin slices dark rye bread

Directions:

Place the sweet potato, onion, ginger, chilli and stock in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until sweet potato is soft. Remove from heat and cool.

While the soup is cooling, heat a small saucepan over low heat. Add the pine nuts and cook until golden. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Once cooled slightly, process the soup in batches in a food processor or blender and return to the pan. Heat again, then divide between bowls and top with goats cheese, basil leaves and pine nuts. Serve with dark rye bread.
