One of the things that happen to you when you are a bit housebound.
You improvise.
I had a look in my fridge and found a couple of carrots, a kumara (sweet potato) and 1/2 mango
I make Carrot and Orange Soup frequently. That is a good match
"Why not Carrot and Mango?"
It really was delicious and will be a keeper in our family.
I decided that I would also add a potato just for a little extra body
This amount served 3 people
Ingredients
50 gms unsalted butter
1 med onion peeled and chopped
2 carrots washed and chopped
1 small Kumara, peeled and chopped
1 med potato peeled and chopped
1/2 mango peeled and chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1.5 Litres Chicken stock
Garnish (optional)
Chopped parsley
Little Cream
Melt the butter in a pot
Add onions season with S & P
and cook till translucent not brown
Add the carrots, kumara and potato
Season again with S & P and coriander
Gently cook until they start to soften a little
About 5 minutes
Cover with Chicken stock
Bring to boil and simmer for about 30 minutes
Till Vege are tender
Transfer to a blender
Add Mango to the mix
Whiz till smooth
Back into pot
Reheat
Serve and garnish with chopped Parsley and a tablespoon of cream
Guaranteed excellent, with some toast or as we did with some fresh Ciabatta
