Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato (aka kumara/yams)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 8 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 cup water
• Sprinkle oregano
• Cracked pepper

Method

1. 1Preheat oven to 200C (400F).
2. 2Peel garlic cloves and place in foil, drizzle a little olive oil. Crumple foil so garlic is covered loosely. Place on middle tray in oven.
3. 3Peel onion and slice into 3 sections of large rings. On an oven tray, line with foil, and place the 3 sections of onion rings, drizzle with oil and place in oven. Cook onions and garlic approx. 20-30 mins until softened. You may need to pull the garlic out first and set aside.
4. 4In a pot place onion, garlic, sweet potato, cracked pepper, oregano and stock. Simmer for 30 mins. Use extra cup of water if needed or if you like a thinner soup.
5. 5When potato is softened, blend with a hand blender until all is smooth.
