INGREDIENTS

  • 1 litre chicken stock
  • ¼ cup red miso paste
  • 2 tbs sesame seeds, toasted

METHOD

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the sweet potato. Stir to coat in the onion mixture.
  2. Increase heat to high. Add the stock. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Use the lid to partially cover, simmer for 20 minutes or until sweet potato is very tender. Set aside to cool slightly. Blend or process until smooth.
