Recipe for Lent season 2021 (17 February - 3 April): Sweet Potato and Orange Soup

Today is Faschingsdienstag (Fasching's Tuesday, similar to Mardi Gras) in Austria, the last and the most important day of the carnival season. Normally, people would party in fantasy costumes. But currently, Austrians step relatively monotonously from one lockdown day to the other and the beginning of the 40 days fasting period (Lent) tomorrow on Ash Wednesday will not change people's daily social lives. Except that special fasting meals instead of heavy meat dishes like Wiener Schnitzel will be ordered for home delivery or click & collect at restaurants because consumption inside isn't possible. Gastronomy has to keep its doors closed the next 40 days until Easter.

Fashion.at searched for typical recipes - especially liquid meals like soups, and found the collection of vegetable dishes by kitchen appliances manufacturer Kenwood. Among the easy-to-make-at-home recipes, the 'Sweet Potato and Orange Soup' with ingredients like ginger, celery, and carrots. The preparation (30 minutes) and cooking time (25 minutes) for 4 portions is calculated with the brand's Titanium Chef XL machine including accessories (high-speed vegetable cutter, thermo-glass mixer attachment).
