This is my single more favourite soup in the whole wide world, I made it for christmas day starters and everyone raved about it. Its great if you have a sweet tooth as well!

SWEET POTATO AND ORANGE SOUP

Serves 6

• 20 g butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 500 g sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 200 g potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 700 ml vegetable stock
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• 150 ml milk
