Ingredients

• 1 Swede (peeled and diced (2cm dice))
• 1 Sweet Potato (peeled and diced)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Onion (peeled and finely chopped)
• 1 Carrot (peeled and finely chopped)
• 2 Garlic Cloves (peeled and finely chopped)
• 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Thyme (dried)
• 750 ml Vegetable Stock
• 30 ml Double Cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200c (180 fan/ Gas 6) and place the diced swede and sweet potato into a roasting tin. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and then roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, shaking halfway through cooking.
2. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan and gently cook the onions, carrots, and garlic until soft. This should take 4 -5 minutes.
3. Add the smoked paprika and thyme and give it a stir.
4. Stir in the vegetable stock and roasted swede/sweet potato mix. Simmer on a low to medium heat for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Blitz with a stick blender for a smooth soup. You may want to add a little boiling water to get just the right consistency.
6. Season with salt and pepper and finally stir in the cream. Heat through and serve!
