Ingredients

    4 cups diced sweet potatoes
    2 cups finely diced onions
    1 tbsp oil
    1 stock cube
    4 cups boiling water
    1/2 cup roasted red peppers cut in strips
    1/2 tsp chipotle pepper ground spice
    1/2 tsp crushed red chili peppers
    1 cup of frozen corn
    1 tbsp dried parsley or 2 tbsps fresh
    zest and juice from half a lemon or a whole lime

Directions

Preheat slow cooker on high. On medium heat in frying pan, cook onions in oil slowly until translucent.

Put sweet potatoes into slow cooker, add stock cube. Pour onions over top and add boiling water using a bit of the water to "deglaze" the browned bits of onion off the pan bottom. Seal up slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours.

Either using a food processor (for a smoother soup) or a potato masher, blend the sweet potato and onions. Add corn, three kinds of peppers and parsley. Cook on high for another hour to blend the flavours and heat the peppers and corn through.

Add lemon or lime zest and juice at the end of cooking.

Non Lactose free options: Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream to swirl into the soup.
