Sweet Potato and Tomato soup

Soup - Vegetable - -

INGREDIENTS

1 onion
2 to 3 large sweet potatoes (the pink fleshed variety), peeled and roughly chopped
1 tin of tomatoes (approximately 400 grams / 12 ounces)
Salt and black pepper to taste
A little olive oil

Optional Ingredients

2 to 3 cloves of garlic

METHOD

Fry the onion and garlic in the olive oil for a few moments. Add the sweet potatoes and tomatoes and simmer until the potatoes are just tender. Add the salt and pepper and liquidize until smooth.

My family loves this soup with some whole-wheat pasta and fresh herbs on top, but you could also use rice or just have it on it's own with some bread.

NOTES

This soup is rich in vitamins A, C and E and also quite high in iron. If topped with pasta or rice it is also a good source of protein and carbohydrate.
