Method
Step 1
Tip the sweet potato chunks onto a roasting tray and coat in the curry paste or powder. Roast in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 200°C or in the oven (at the same temperature) for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Add to the slow cooker with all the other ingredients, except the halloumi. Add 1.2 litres of boiling water or stock, then cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Once cooked, blitz in the slow cooker with a hand blender until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Pan-fry or air-fry the halloumi until golden all over, then scatter the halloumi pieces over the soup in bowls to serve. Divine.
