Step by step
Get ahead
This soup can be made and chilled for up to 2 days ahead or frozen, without the garnish.
- Sauté the onion, garlic, chilli and sumac in the coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of water until soft and translucent – about 5 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and stock, bring to the boil and then simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Leave to cool a little before adding the pomegranate molasses. Blend until the soup is silky smooth, and season to taste.
- Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs, some chopped peanuts, pomegranate seeds, a sprinkling of sumac and a wedge of lime.
