Ingredients
- 400 g Sweet Potato Chunks
- 10 ml Vegetable Stock
- 1 Onion peel & roughly dice
- 300 g Cooked Chopped Tomato
- 30 ml Tomato Paste
- 20 ml Gochujang
- 100 ml Crème Fraîche
- 4 White Farmstyle Bread Slices
- 100 g Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 40 ml Crispy Onion Bits
- Oil cooking, olive or coconut
- Salt & Pepper
- Water
- Blender
- Paper Towel
- Butter
Instructions
- SWEET ROAST & STOCK Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Spread the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Dilute the stock with 600ml of boiling water.
- LAYERS OF FLAVOUR Place a pot (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the diluted stock, the cooked chopped tomato, and the tomato paste. Stir in the gochujang (to taste - it's spicy!) and season. Pop on the lid and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and gently simmer with the lid slightly on until thickened and reduced, 10-15 minutes.
- BLEND, STIR, SEASON When the soup has reduced, place the soup and the roasted sweet potato into a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Loosen with a splash of water if too thick. Return the soup to the pot and stir through 3/4 of the crème fraîche, reserving a little for styling later.
- Season. Pop on the lid and keep warm over low heat (stirring occasionally, if necessary).
- CHEESE TOASTIE Butter the bread slices. Place a pan over medium heat with a knob of butter. When hot, place one slice in the pan, buttered-side down. Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and season. Close up with the other slice, buttered-side up. Allow the toastie to grill on one side until starting to brown, 2 minutes. Flip over and grill the other side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, 2 minutes. Drain on paper towel before serving.
- SOUP'S UP! Bowl up the tomato & sweet potato soup. Swirl through the remaining crème fraîche and scatter over the crispy onion bits. Serve the cheese toastie on the side for dunking. Scrumptious, Chef!
- Chef's Tip: Air fryer method: Coat the sweet potato chunks in oil and season. Air fry at 200 C until cooked through and crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
