1 cup milk
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt
Cayenne pepper
2 -3 tbsp cream
Parsley or cilantro for garnish

Place diced sweet potatoes, water and vegetable stock in a pot and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender.

In the meantime, heat olive oil in a skillet, add onion and a pinch of salt, and fry until nice and brown.

Add the onions to the potatoes. Mix well. Purée the soup with a blender. Once smooth, add corn, peppers and milk and simmer until tender. Then mix in lemon juice and a bit of cayenne pepper and salt. Stir in cream and serve immediately.
