Ingredients

How to make it

  • Chop the onion and cook it slowly in the olive oil with a sprinkle of salt, stirring now and then, over low heat until it is soft and golden, about half an hour.
  • Meanwhile, peel and dice the sweet potato and put it in a large soup pot with 4 cups (1 liter) water and a teaspoon of sea salt.
  • Thoroughly wash the leek, spinach, and chard, chop them coarsely, and add them to the pot, along with the chopped ginger.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely tender.
  • Add the caramelized onions when they are ready.
  • When the vegetables are soft, add the vegetable broth (you can add less if you like a thicker soup) and decide whether you want your soup chunky, like this, or smooth.
  • If the latter, puree the soup in a blender, in batches, or with an immersion blender until it is smooth.
  • Stir in 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Taste, and correct the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice.
