Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

This Creamy Sweet Potato Soup from “Be More Vegan” by Niki Webster is lightly fragranced with some Indian spices. This is a really easy recipe to make.

You can make a small batch ahead to enjoy during the week. A comforting and nutritious meal to enjoy for lunch or dinner.

This Creamy Sweet Potato Soup recipe is reproduced from “Be More Vegan” the latest cookbook from Niki Webster. Aimed at young people, it is packed with over fifty simple, plant-based recipes and a wealth of tips and information. Each dish is beautifully photographed and I love the compact format. This book contains enough recipes to inspire even the most novice cooks without being overwhelming.

From tasty breakfasts and plant-packed lunches to healthy snacks and delicious vegan desserts, there is something for everyone. This cookbook encompasses a good range of world cuisine favourites such as curries, fajitas, nachos, burgers, lentil bakes, summer rolls, millionaire’s shortbread, peanut butter banana ‘nice cream’ and toasties.

Browsing through the brilliant Be More Vegan, I could not help noticing how Niki’s recipes were perfectly designed for young cooks. Deliciously simple and uncomplicated, they are ideal to help build kitchen confidence. Combining a few straightforward ingredients, most of the dishes require little preparation or cooking time. This is, for me, what makes this cookbook so special and appealing to young people whether they live at home or are already at university. Be More Vegan is also suited to older adults who want to embark on a vegan journey without really knowing where to start.

Be More Vegan

Be More Vegan: The Young Person’s Guide to Going (a Bit More) Plant-Based! by Niki Webster (£14.99, Welbeck Children’s) is available now in bookstores.

Niki was kind enough to offer a copy of Be More Vegan to one lucky reader. This competition is on Instagram only.
