Step by Step Method

Step 1

Saute the onion in the olive oil with a little salt for about 20 minutes over medium heat to caramelize. Stir from time to time while it cooks.

Step 2

Turn the heat up a little and add the sweet potato and leek and saute a little longer. Add the cilantro, chard and ginger and then the stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

With an immersion blender, partially puree the soup. Add 2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice and some black pepper and taste. Add more lemon juice to taste and adjust salt if necessary. Will keep several days in the fridge.

For our taste this is a "WOW" soup. The natural flavors of the vegetables blended with ginger and cilantro is perfect. I used swiss chard right from the garden, snipped out the stems and chooped up the leaves. For the stock I used 900ml chicken stock and 900ml vegetable stock, resulting in 7 servings. This soup will be made again for sure. Thanks limeleaf for a delightful lunch.
