Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare the vegetables.
  2. Measure the spices and prepare the ginger, and keep.
  3. Make the broth/stock with hot water and cubes or granules, and press out the orange juice. Also add to the juice any orange flesh which comes loose in the juicing process.
  4. Heat the oil in a large pot, and add the chopped onion, chopped potato and carrot(s). Stir well.
  5. When the vegetables have softened slightly, add the fennel seeds, mustard or cardamom seeds, pepper and coriander.
  6. Stir well and let the spices fry with the vegetables for a minute or two. Add a little bit more oil if necessary.
  7. Add the sweet potato chunks (or butternut) to the pot, and also add the broth (stock), orange juice, ginger, sugar and salt.
  8. Stir, bring to a simmer, turn heat low and put on lid at a slight angle.
  9. Simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
  10. Pour the soup carefully into a processor, and process until fairly smooth. Taste for seasoning: you might want to add more salt.
  11. Can wait in pot to be reheated a couple of hours later, or cooled completely and refrigerated for the next day.
