By hmp13

Ingredients

• 2 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed (about 8 ounces)
• Generous 4 cups diced sweet potatoes
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 1/4 cups dry white wine
• 1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
• Hot pepper sauce, to taste
• Salt and pepper
• Fresh chunky bread, to serve

Preparation

Step 1

Dice a small quantity of the red pepper for the garnish; set aside. Put the rest into a saucepan with the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, wine and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft.

Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a generous dash of hot pepper sauce. Cool slightly. Garnish with the reserved diced red pepper and serve warm or at room temperature.
