40 g (1 1/2 oz) cooked sweetcorn kernels
1/2 tsp habanero chilli pepper sauce
method
1. Put the onion, garlic, leek and celery into a large, lidded saucepan over a high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until softened but not coloured. You will not need any oil as the steam and the continuous stirring will prevent the vegetables from sticking.
2. Add the potato, yam, turmeric, mace, bay leaves and stock, stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the oil, add the sweetcorn and stir-fry until golden brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the chilli sauce. Reserve for garnishing the soup.
4. Remove the bay leaves from the soup and discard. Stir in the roasted pepper, sugar and lemon juice. Using a hand-held electric blender, blend the soup until smooth, or use a food processor.
5. Ladle into warmed soup bowls, sprinkle with the sweetcorn garnish and serve, accompanied by flat bread.
