DIRECTIONS:
1. Dice small amount of red pepper for garnish and set aside. Put the rest into pan with sweet potato, onion, garlic wine and vegetable stock.
2. Bring to boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft.
3. Leave to cool slightly.
4. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
5. Season with salt, pepper and tabasco to taste.

Serves 6

I had to simmer for about 45 mins because the potatoes weren't soft enough.
