Kumara Soup image

Here's another recipe borrowed from the hub-uk website, where it was originally posted by 'Tallyrand' (who is a chef in NZ). Kumara is the Moari name for Sweet Potato. You could serve this with the Maori Bread recipe I've posted. I've not tried this and number of servings is a 'guestimate'; recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005.

I'm not a big fan of kumara, but this soup was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste.

Not a fan of the coconut milk, but the rest of the soup was great.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also added some carrots and celery for extra veggies.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I added a bit of diced chicken for extra protein.
