Our fiery sweet potato nduja soup will warm you inside out! It’s under 250 cals and three portions of your 5-a-day.

tOur sweet potato and nduja soup is hearty, balanced and satisfying. All the heat comes from the nduja - a spicy, spreadable pork salami from Italy. The nduja gives the soup depth and richness and is matched brilliantly with the sweet, silky sweet potato. It’s also great with pasta (opens in new tab) or served on bruschetta with mozzarella. At under 250 cals (opens in new tab) this soup is a lovely healthy dinner (opens in new tab) or lunch choice and it has three of your 5-a-day. (opens in new tab) Prep the soup ahead of time and reheat when you need it. Even on a busy day you can tuck into a nutritious dinner. Serve with crusty bread or a toasted wholemeal pitta bread to keep the cals low.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C, gas 6. In a large bowl mix the olive oil with the garlic, onions, celery, sweet potato, peppers and carrots and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a baking tray and cook for 30 mins until soft.
Tip the roasted veg into a large pot with the ‘Nduja and warm through for a couple of minutes. Add the chicken stock and blitz until smooth using a hand blender. Stir through the black beans until warm, divide into bowls and serve with crème fraiche, if liked.

Top Tip for making Sweet potato nduja soup

If you can’t find ‘nduja use cooking chorizo instead. Just be sure to squeeze out the filling from the skin and cook off before adding the roast veg and stock.
