Sweet Potato & Caraway Soup with Argan Oil
"I've translated this recipe from the original Dutch recipe, as featured in the Morocco section of Arabia by Merijn Tol and Nadia Zerouali. I love the sunny orange color, spiked with the verdant green of the fava beans and soft white clouds of goat's cheese. Most Turkish, Moroccan or Middle Eastern food shops should stock soft goat's cheese, which is similar in texture to feta cheese. However, you could use chevre instead. Argan oil, which is drizzled on top, is a delicious nutty oil from Morocco, reputed to have anti-ageing qualities...."
