New Covent Garden Food Co.’s Ltd Ed November Soup of the Month - Jamaican Jerk Sweet Potato soup



A ‘Soup-er’ Taste of the Jamaican Sun !


What could be better on a typically British winter’s day like today, than to inject a bit of Jamaican sunshine? That’s exactly what New Covent Garden Food Co.’s Ltd Ed November Soup of the Month - Jamaican Jerk Sweet Potato soup - does without you having to go to the expense of jumping on a plane to the Caribbean island (we can only dream!).


Jerk seasoning is the jewel in Jamaican cuisine’s culinary crown. The ingredients list is often a mile long - in fact, the Jamaicans have a saying “Every mikkle mek a mukkle” – every little bit counts.

 So for NCG’s recipe, the soup pioneer’s dedicated chefs made sure to include the key, authentic jerk ingredients, such as ground pimento, cinnamon, nutmeg and thyme. To keep the heat under control they also added some cooling plum tomatoes and coconut; and whizzed them up with vibrant sweet potatoes and carrots.


Available in all major retailers during November priced around £1.99, this is a deliciously hearty and warming soup which will set you in good stead to tackle whatever ‘delights’ the British weather can throw up!
