ROAST THE SWEET POTATO
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the sweet potato chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
ALL SOUPED UP
Boil the kettle. Place a large pot (that has a lid) over a medium-high heat. When hot, fry the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the vegetable stock, cooked chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir in the gochujang paste to taste (it’s spicy!) and season. Pour in 300ml of boiling water and stir through. Pop on the lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and gently simmer with the lid on for 10-15 minutes until thickened and reduced.
SMOOTH & CREAMY
When the soup has reduced, add in the cooked sweet potato. Pour the soup and sweet potato into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and stir through three-quarters of the crème fraîche, reserving a little for garnish. Season to taste. Pop on the lid and keep warm over a low heat, stirring occasionally if necessary.
TOASTIE TIME
Butter both slices of country loaf on one side. Place a pan over a medium heat. When hot, place one slice in the pan, buttered-side down. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella and some seasoning on top. Close up with the other slice, buttered-side up. Allow the toastie to grill on one side for 2 minutes until beginning to brown. Flip over and grill for 2 minutes on the other side. On completion, the bread should be golden and the cheese melted. Allow to drain on some paper towel before serving.
WARM THE BELLY & THE SOUL
Fill up a bowl with tomato and roast sweet potato soup. Stir through the remaining crème fraîche and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh, chopped chives. Serve the cheese toastie on the side for dunking. Scrumptious, Chef!
