Instructions
Stovetop Method
Spray the pot with olive oil. Add the onions, bay leaf and garlic cloves and cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes until softened.
Stir in the salt, cajun seasoning and sweetener.
Add the carrot, sweet potatoes and tinned tomatoes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Partially cover the pot, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Take the pot off the heat and blend using an immersion blender until the soup is smooth.
Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
If you want to turn this into cream of tomato soup, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of fat free Greek yogurt (for SW soup) or cream. Blend again.
Serve garnished with seeds, herbs, croutons or cheese (see recommendations).
Soup Maker Method
LEAVE OUT THE BAY LEAF FOR THIS METHOD. I used a Morphy Richards Total Control Soup Maker which has a 1.6 litre capacity.
Add all the ingredients apart from the stock into the soup maker, packing everything down with the back of a spoon.
Pour in the stock making sure to only fill up to the maximum capacity line. Select the Smooth programme and let it run until the soup is blended. Check the seasoning and serve as desired.
Instant Pot Method
Select Sauté and spray the pot with olive oil. Cook the onions, bay leaf, garlic, salt, sweetener and seasoning for 5 minutes, stirring.
Add the carrots, sweet potatoes and vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
Add the tomatoes on top, do not stir. Cover, set vent to sealing and cook for 10 minutes at high pressure. Release the pressure manually.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Serve as desired.
