Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15g) unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, chopped into large dice
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1.5 litres (6 cups) water
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (or 1 tsp table salt)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup thickened cream (plus extra for garnish)
  • Root Vegetables:
  • 1 large potato (approx. 300g), peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium sweet potato (350g), peeled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Sauté Base: Heat olive oil and butter in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic for about 2 minutes until softened.
  2. Add Vegetables & Spices: Add all chopped root vegetables, curry powder, and thyme. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly until slightly softened.
  3. Simmer: Add water, salt, and pepper. Turn heat to high, bring to a simmer, then reduce to medium-high. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until vegetables are soft.
