Cover and cook, stirring every few minutes, until sweet potato is soft, about 5 more minutes.
• While sweet potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, adding a dash of olive oil if needed. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add remaining chicken broth, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprig. Add water if there is not enough broth.
• Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until all veggies are thoroughly cooked and flavors have melded together, 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large soup pot. Add the onions, garlic, and bay leaf, cook stirring occasionally until the onions are slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft around the edges, another 2 minutes. Scatter the flour over the vegetables and stir until the flour is absorbed into the mixture, 1 minute.
• 2. Add the broth to the pot, whisking until smooth. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat and season with 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper. Once the soup boils, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

THAI CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger, lemongrass, coriander stalks and curry paste and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until the aromas are released.
• Add the chicken stock, coconut cream and sweet potatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Remove the lemongrass and discard. Carefully transfer to a blender and blitz until smooth. If freezing, for best results freeze at this point, otherwise as an easier option freeze complete recipe.
• Return to the saucepan, add the chicken and cook gently for 5 - 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir through the lime juice, sugar and fish sauce, scatter with the coriander leaves and serve.

COLD OR HOT SWEET POTATO AND CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Take 1/4 cup of the broth and sauté the onions and ginger until tender adding the cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Add the sweet potato, cut fine to reduce cooking time. IF you haven't cooked the carrots with a bit of water and pepper add them now also again cut fine to reduce cooking time.
• Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are soft. Remove from heat and blenderize. DO not stick your wooden spoon too far down in the blender while running or you will ruin a perfectly good antique spoon and add fiber. This is called stupid at least for this cook. However it might add an extra flavor to the dish if the spoon is seasoned properly but NOT recommended.
• After pureeing, return to the saucepan and add the soy milk to consistency. You will know when honest. You want a thick rich soup. Taste, add the orange zest then add the cheese, optional btw and taste again then add salt or pepper if you think you need them.
