Kiwi cuisineSweet potato and watercress soup:A lovely creamy soup that combines the sweetness of the sweet potato with the peppery bite of fresh watercress. And it looks pretty - orange with green bits!
Ingredients
One medium sized sweet potato
A large bunch of fresh watercress
One medium onion
half pint of milk
half pint of water
A knob of butter
salt & pepper to taste
Method
Chop the onion and fry gently in the butter until the onion starts to brown.
Peel and dice the sweet potato, then add to the pan with the onions and add the milk and water.
Bring the pan up to the boil and simmer gently until the sweet potato is soft. About 10 minutes should do it.
Pour the potato, onion and milk mix into a blender along with the watercress.
Blitz it
Return the mix to the pan to warm through, add the salt and pepper to taste, and then serve.
Variants
A regular potato works just as well as a sweet one. The soup won't be quite the yellow-orange colour of one made with a sweet potato, it will also taste a little more plain.
Chicken stock can be used instead of water to make a richer (and non-vegetarian) soup.
A poached egg, or a dollop of double cream (or both!) added to the bowl makes for a pleasant addition to the meal.
The soup works equally well served hot or cold. If it's to be served cold, then the soup may require a little thinning with additional milk, but this is very much down to personal preference.

Ze hebben hun eigen chef kok, Peter Gordon, heeft ook kookboeken geschreven over kiwifood
Waterkers, ofwel watercress noemen zij puha en ze eten ook graag kumara (soort sweet potatoe)
Dat is wat John me nog heeft verteld.
Overigens heeft hij gisteren voor mij spinaziesoep gemaakt (ze eten daar ook veel spinazie) vooraf, met daarna zalm, eerst een beetje opgebakken, daarna de oven in om daarna af te bakken in de koekenpan, waardoor de zalm echt smelt op je tong. Met een citroensausje. Groente was groene asperges, te zamen met Thaise rijst. Bij gerecht was een rauwe spinaziesalade met noten en avocado en gedroogde abrikoos.
Flensjes met vers fruit en slagroom toe.
