Directions
Ouma’s Comforting, Healthy Vegetable Broth, When winter howls outside there is nothing more soothing than a bowl or cup of thick soup The orange juice and spices in this recipe lend it the slightest tang and piquancy without interfering with the wholesome veggie taste This is my own recipe, but this time I measured the ingredients instead of chucking it into the pot by feel! Do not leave out the sugar (or a substitute), as it is essential Best of all: this soup SHOULD be made ahead, because standing for a few hours or overnight in the fridge develop the flavours Servings are a guess, because a large bowl with bread can be a meal on its own, or a small helping could be the starter to a winter night’s dinner Butternut can be used instead of sweet potato or yams For a thinner soup the potato can be left out , This came out well, but was very citrus-y; next time we’re going to try cutting the orange juice down to 1/2 cup I also noticed that our soup was much more orange colored than the poster’s photo
