Sheryl - this soup is wickedly good! I had to do some major improvising due to some missing ingredients, and machinery malfunctions, but it's superb!
Did you make it in the Vitamix to get a smooth and creamy consistency? I had to sieve mine alas (crap blender - pooh!). But, the upside was that I mixed the pulp with some corn meal that I had made, added more water and olive water, and hey presto - a medium sized pizza base. Arthur's working on it now, along with drying some coconut. I'm very chuffed to have made my own dried shredded coconut.
None of my tomatoes were ripe alas, so I had to substitute sun dried tomatoes, and I didn't have any garlic or chilli, so I used a teaspoon of a miss g spice mix that I just made. (dried onion, celery, chilli, and garlic - ground in the spice grinder). It seemed to do the trick.
Oh, and the link to the coconut water on your recipe doesn't seem to be working, so I fudged that a bit too. I added 2 cups of water to my coconut, and then whizzed and strained.
Next time I will do a faithful rendition - it's so good, and surprisingly filling. I poured a big bowl and could only manage a third or so, which is excellent news as I now have something to take for lunch tomorrow.
The kitchen now looks like a 3 year old has been let loose because whilst grating the sweet potato I grated with too much oomph with the right hand, whilst the left hand wasn't paying attention, and I managed to send grated sweet potato flying across the kitchen.
I bet in a Vitamix you don't even have to grate the sweet potato *sigh*. Sometimes I think I should 'cook' with a drop sheet.
