Quinoa, coconut milk and sweet potato potage
Hugo made me this soup from the book ‘Quinoa 365’. It was totally delicious. One of the times he tried a recipe from this book, it was really lacking in the spice department. So we jacked up the spices when we made this (4x) and it was really good. I am not sure what I think about this book’s philosophy of apparently everything is better with quinoa, but some of these recipes are pretty good.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
one chopped onion
2 tbs water
one half cup quinoa
3 cups vegetable bouillon
1 can coconut milk
1 tsp cayenne pepper (modified)
1 tsp chili (modified)
Cook the sweet potatoes by steaming or boiling until tender (about 6-7 minutes). Set aside. In a big casserole, cook the onion and water for 7 mins. Add the bouillon and quinoa and bring to a boil, and reduce temperature to medium for 15 minutes. Add the cooked sweet potato. Blend with a hang blender, and add the coconut milk and spices.
