Sweet potato and Pumpkin Soup

Instructions

You will need a LARGE pot to do this!!!!

We use a 20L pot and make a lot at once, then freeze.

For smaller quantities or pot just divide everything.

Cut up everything BEFORE you start!

6 x tablespoons olive oil

6 x large onions chopped fine

2 x heaped wooden spoons minced/chopped garlic

2 x heaped wooden spoons minced/chopped ginger

1 x level tablespoon Thai curry paste

Add these ingredients to the pot and Caramelize high heat for 5 min. (Fry up in the pot till the onions go slightly brown.)

1 kg washed carrots sliced. Don’t peel, the skin has most of the nutrients.

3 x large washed sweet potato sliced. Don’t peel, the skin has most of the nutrients.

1 x very large pumpkin (35 cm diameter, sorry don’t recall the weight) cut into 2 cm chunks. We do peel this.

Add to the pot and sauté on medium heat for 6 min. You may need to add a cup of water to stop things from burning.

5 x Massel Vegi stock cubes dissolved in hot water.

Dissolve stock cubes in a bowl, then add to pot.

Then add enough water to just cover the vegetables.

Simmer till all veggies are soft.

Use a stick blender to blend everything together.

Dehydrating

The soup can be dehydrated and used as a dip or soup.

Make sure you add the minimum amount of water when cooking.

Spread on the solid trays in the dehydrator. Takes about 10-12 hours to dry.
