Sweet Potato and Smoked Bacon Soup

[Naughty Cal]

Peel and roughly chop three medium sweet potatoes. Bake in the oven for twenty minutes.

 

Whilst the potatoes are roasting chop and fry an onion and glove if garlic in a large saucepan. Once softened add chopped smoked streaky bacon and fry until cooked.

 

Then add a couple of tea spoons of smoked paprika and a pint if vegetable stock and simmer.

 

Finally add the potatoes to the stock and blend with a hand blender.

 

Serve with warm crusty bread and butter.

That sounds like a winner, I would change one thing, HOT smoked paprika. I use that in my butternut squash soup, and its always a winner.

 

I gonna give it a try.

We often add a little chilli to it but as this is for guests as a starter tonight and we dont know how hot they like their food I decided against it.

 

I was a little worried about how it would keep its colour as I have made it in advance but it seems to be holding up just fine.
