With slow-releasing carbs, protein, healthy fats and loads of vitamins and minerals, this soup is a great addition to any training diet
This is one of my favourite ‘souper’ soups – a spicy, sweet and citrussy Berbere-spiced (which can be found in most large supermarkets) Peanut and Sweet Potato Soup.
Providing slow-releasing carbohydrate, protein, healthy fats and a host of vitamins and minerals, it’s a great addition to any training diet. You can also prep in bulk and keep portions in the freezer.
Heat the coconut oil on a low heat in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion for a few mins. Add the sweet potato, celery, Berbere and ground ginger and fry for a further 1-2mins. Add the chilli and 1 tbsp of the peanut butter.
Stir in the stock and bring the mixture to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-15mins until the sweet potato is tender. Purée the soup in a blender until smooth. Pour back into the saucepan, add the lime juice and season to taste.
Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp peanut butter. If the soup is too thick, thin down with more stock.
Serve in bowls, sprinkled with the coriander and peanuts.
