Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 2 leeks
  • Generous amount of butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 500ml milk
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 bowl of sour kimchi
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp vinegar
  • A little scallion
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Bake 2 sweet potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes for garnish. Peel and thinly slice the remaining sweet potato.
  2. Finely chop 2 leeks and sauté them in a pot with butter and a pinch of salt until fragrant.
  3. Once the leeks are somewhat cooked, add the thinly sliced sweet potato, milk, and bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat until the sweet potato is fully cooked.
  4. Remove the bay leaf, blend until smooth, strain through a sieve, and return to the pot. Add 100ml more milk to achieve a smooth consistency, then bring to a simmer to complete the soup base.
  5. In a pan, sauté minced leeks with avocado oil. Add finely chopped sour kimchi and kimchi juice, and cook until the moisture evaporates.
  6. Add sugar and vinegar, and reduce to a syrup-like consistency. Turn off the heat, let it cool, then mix in chopped scallions to make kimchi jam.
  7. Using an immersion blender, tilt it to blend the finished soup, creating a rich, cappuccino-like foam.
  8. Serve the baked sweet potato and kimchi jam in a bowl, then carefully pour the frothed soup over them to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To create a rich foam, tilt the blender blade about 15 degrees and blend as if hitting the surface of the liquid.
  • When adding scallions to the kimchi jam, make sure to do so after the jam has cooled down to maintain the vibrant green color of the scallions.
