Servings4
½ cup extra virgin Greek olive oil
2 large red onions roughly chopped
1 leek roughly chopped
6 large carrots peeled and sliced
1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
1 large potato peeled and diced
sea salt to taste
1 heaping tsp turmeric
1 heaping tsp cumin
a generous pinch of curry
1 - 2 pieces star anise
2 large garlic cloves
1 1.5-inch knob fresh ginger

1

Heat ½ cup olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions, leeks, and carrots.

2

Add the sweet potato and the regular potato.

3

Season with salt and add turmeric, cumin, curry, and star anise. Give them a stir, cover, and sweat for a few minutes over medium-low heat.

4

Meanwhile, finely chop ginger and garlic. Add them to the pot, and cook for a few minutes until they’re soft.

5

Add water or vegetable broth to come about an inch above the vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes or until everything is tender.

6

Remove the star anise. Puree the soup with an immersion blender. Add enough water or stock to get the desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with balsamic, petimezi, salt, and pepper.
