This is such a comforting, earthy soup. I love to make a batch of this at the beginning of the week and enjoy it all week long. Topped with omega-3-rich walnuts and fresh dill, it's bound to lighten anyone's mood.

Ingredients:

  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks

  • 3 beetroots, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 2 crushed garlic cloves

  • 1 tsp of chilli flakes

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 500ml bone broth, chicken or vegetable stock

  • 200ml water

  • 5 tbsp walnuts, chopped

  • 10g finely chopped fresh dill

  • salt and pepper

Method:

  1. Rub the chunks of sweet potato and beetroot in 1 tablespoon oil and a grind of salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat for 1 minute, add the onion and sauté with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes.

  3. Throw in the sweet potato, garlic, cumin, chilli and beetroot and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring constantly so nothing burns, then add the broth or stock, and the water.

  4. Simmer for 30 minutes, then purée with a hand blender, and serve scattered with walnuts and dill.
