Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Sweet Potato Soup

Sweet Potato Soup (four 4)


This is my favourite soup recipe, quick, easy and so tasty!
  • 750g sweet potato - peeled and cubed (or a mix of sweet pots, butternut squash and carrots)
  • 1 litre veg stock ( I use a stock cube)
  • 1/2 onion (diced)
  • coconut cream - tablespoon grated
  • Spring onion - chopped, teaspoon grated ginger and teaspoon chopped garlic
  • Pinch dried chilli flakes
 Cook onion gently in the pan and add stir fry paste until softened. Add vegetables and stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins. Take off the heat and add the coconut cream, stir in until melted. 
Use a stick blender to blitz or pour into a blender and blitz until smooth,sprinkle in the chilli flakes and season to taste.

This is a thick wholesome soup, great served with a dollop of soured cream or yoghurt. Or if you add more stock or even a can of coconut milk to thin it out it's a lovely light starter.

Sorry no pics at the moment - will add some next time I whizz up a batch!
