Ingredients

  • 225 grams sausage, use hot sausage, hot italian or chorizo (check label to make sure no gluten), casing removed and sliced & diced small
  • 450 grams carrots, peeled & chopped
  • 4 large white potatoes, peeled & diced
  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
  • 1 large swede, peeled & diced
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled & diced
  • 1000 ml chicken stock
  • 1000 ml hot water
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 salt & pepper to taste
  • 60 ml full fat coconut milk
  • 1 chopped parsley to garnish

Method

  • Fry off the diced sausage in a little oil in a large stock pot until cooked, then remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on some kitchen towel
  • Add the vegetables to the pot and fry off for a few minutes, then add in the water, stock and seasonings and bring to the boil.
  • Put the lid on and turn the heat down to a simmer for 35 - 40 minutes or until the vegetables are soft
  • Let cool slightly then whizz the soup through a blender in batches until smooth.
  • Return to the pan, stir in the coconut milk and add back in the pieces of chopped sausage.
  • Heat through, season well to taste and serve!
  • Yields around 4 litres
  • The type of sausage you use will determine the seasoning you need.
  • For example I have used chorizo this time and so I added plenty of black pepper and a tsp of smoked paprika to finish my soup
