3
Return the sweet potato, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.

Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.

Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh thyme right before serving.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
