This was a lovely lunch dish – hearty and healthy and absolutely delicious!

KUMARA BACON AND CHILI SOUP

150 grams of Canadian bacon, chopped

100 grams of onions, diced

1 kg of kumara, peeled and cubed

2 litres of chicken stock (I like a thick soup, so didn’t add all of the stock to mine)

100 ml coconut milk

1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili paste

salt and pepper to taste

Place the bacon and onion in a saucepan and stir over low heat for 2 minutes. Add the kumara and chicken stock. Add the chili. Boil until everything is thoroughly cooked. Add the coconut milk. Using  a hand held blender, process the soup until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
