I'm unquestionably loving this, my favouritest* soup at the moment...

...vegan, wheat free, great for you, delicious, warming and divine. In my opinion - and if you like the ingredients I suppose. Oh and so simple to make for a quick and easy, nutritious dinner.

I tried to save some for a friend to try and am disappointed to admit I was unable to. There's a great excuse to make it again very soon though!

It's from Jason Vale's 'Juice Yourself Slim' which is jam packed with fabulous recipies - juices, salads, soups as well as lots of making sense stuff around eating, lifestyle and more.  It's great to follow as a week launch of more healthy eating ashould you feel you need it and then to use as part of your daily life to lead to a great, energetic, nutrient rich lifestyle.

So without further ado - the recipe:

Sweet Potato, Coconut and Chilli Soup

2 medium sweet potatoes
1 small red chilli (seeds removed)
2 spring onion stalks
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 can of half fat coconut milk

Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into small chunks
Chop the chilli and spring onion stalks into small pieces
In a large saucepan heat the oil, add the vegetables
Gently sweat the veg over a medium heat for 15 minutes then add the coconut milk and simmer for 15 minutes
Remove from the heat and using a blender, blend until smooth
Pour into a bowl and enjoy!

*I know it's not a word but it really, really should be.
