Yesterday I made a scrumptious soup. I didn't follow a recipe so the measurements are not strict, however I used:
1 Kumara or orange sweet potato peeled and diced
5 medium size potatoes peeled and diced
roughly a quarter piece of pumpkin, approx. same amount as potatoes (I used Queensland blue but Butternut would be fine).
1 large to medium onion finely chopped.
Place ingredients in a medium/large saucepan and cover with chicken stock, cubes will do, liquid should be a couple of inches over vegetables. Add pepper and a teaspoon ground ginger.
Boil until tender then roughly mash with potato masher.
Add about 1 cup cream and reheat but don't boil.
Serve sprinkled with fresh chives and fresh crusty bread. Makes about 8 good serves.
