KUMARA, APPLE AND GARLIC SOUP

Right, my first recipe.  Chosen purely because I promised my little cuz I would give him this recipe to help him on his rostered cooking night in his flat.  So, here you are Caleb,

• 1kg  kumara (any type) cut into cubes
• 1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges
• 1 granny smith apple, cored and cut into wedges
• 4 garlic cloves
• 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1.5-2L chicken stock

Preheat oven to 180 deg.

Place kumara, onion, apple and garlic in a bowl and mix through oil, nutmeg, cinnamon and some salt & pepper.

Spread kumara etc on a baking tray and bake for approximately 30 mins or until cooked and tender.

When cooked transfer to a large pot, add stock and bring to the boil.  Reduce to a simmer and cook for another 15 min or until veg is soft.

Remove from the heat and blitz with a stick mixer or mix in a blender.

Season to taste.

Best served with some crumbled feta.

This makes a HUGE amount of soup - we had enough for about 6-8 adult meals.  Enjoy little cuz!
