• 4 cups (1L) vegetable or chicken stock
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
• Oregano leaves, to serve

Method

1. Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and celery, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until aromatic.
2. Stir in sweet potato, passata and stock. Cover. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 15-20 mins or until the sweet potato is soft. Remove from heat.
3. Preheat grill on medium-high. Line baking tray with foil. Spray with olive oil spray. Arrange prosciutto on prepared tray. Spray with oil. Cook under the grill for 2 mins each side or until golden brown.
4. Use stick blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth, adding water or stock if too thick. Divide among serving bowls. Top soup with sour cream, prosciutto and oregano. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Season. Serve.
