Mini Me Lunches - Sweet Potato Soup with Chilli and Lime




Sweet potato soup we love! And we eat a lot of it. It's quick to make, very tasty and nutritious. Recently on a 'what to make for Rian' struggle session I realised that my thick soup doubles as a perfect pasta sauce for him. Good idea or what? :) I just have to be more sparing with the chilli when making the soup.

Ingredients for the soup:

- 2-3 small or 1-2 big sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon of fresh chilli paste
- the juice of 1-2 limes, depends how juicy they are
- 2 tablespoon of honey or demara sugar
- pinch of salt

Method:

1) Cook the sweet potato until soft. From boiling it cooks in a few minutes. You may want to remove some of the cooking water before blending to get a thick enough consistency.
2) Blend it into a thick soup using a blender. I find hand blender the handiest for this job.
3) Add the chilli, the lime juice and the honey, stir and keep it warm till serving.

For baby:
- Cook the pasta of your choice. (I use the Asian egg noodles from Lidl a lot)
- Pour the soup over and mix.
- Add small chopped good quality ham and spoonful of full fat natural yoghurt for a balanced meal.



Serve at the same time and enjoy.
