Sweet Potato, Chorizo and Carrot Soup

October 1, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Soup seems an appropriate recipe for today as it is raining and windy outside. This soup is a favourite of adults and children alike as the chorizo adds a lovely smokey flavour and the carrots and sweet potatoes add a nice sweetness.

As with most soups you can make extra and either keep for a few days in the fridge or freeze to use another day. Make sure to freeze in individual portions as you will then be able to use it as needed.

I recommend using a stick blender when pureeing soup as there is no mess and you can puree it all at once.
