How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place sweet potato and 2 teaspoons of the oil in a baking dish and toss to coat. Roast for 40 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, place the chicken breast fillet in a small ovenproof dish. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Cover with foil and roast for 35 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside.
- Pour remaining oil into a flameproof casserole dish or large heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, cumin and chilli powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add sweet potato, ginger and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Use a stick blender or food processor (see TIPS) to process the soup until smooth. Pour soup back into the flameproof casserole dish.
- Shred the chicken and add to the soup. Add milk and heat gently, stirring continuously. Serve the soup topped with mint and coriander leaves and sprinkled with dukkah.
TIPS
- If pureeing the soup in a food processor, process in batches
- The soup freezes well so make a big batch and you can pull out of the freezer at a later date for a quick lunch or supper!
