Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp

Brown onion

Orange sweet potato (kumara)

600 g

Baby potatoes

200 g

Chicken stock cube

Fresh rosemary

1 tbs, sprig

99% fat-free, plain or natural yoghurt, unsweetened

⅓ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Fill and boil the kettle.

  3. Meanwhile, coarsely grate potatoes using a food processor fitted with a grater blade.
  4. Add grated potato, stock cubes, rosemary and 3 cups (750ml) boiling water to pan and bring to the boil. Boil, covered, for 6–8 minutes or until potato has softened. Remove from heat.

  5. Spread toast with pesto. Top soup with yoghurt and sprinkle with pepper to serve.

Notes

TIPS: Suitable for leftovers. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 1 month. You can use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock to make this a vegetarian meal.
