Method
1.Heat oil in a large saucepan on high. Saute onion, garlic and curry powder for 2-3 minutes, until onion is tender.
2.Add kumara and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour over water. Season to taste.
3.Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until kumara is tender.
4.Reserve a few pieces of kumara, then puree remaining mixture using a food processor or hand mixer. Stir in sugar.
5.Reheat, stirring in chunks of kumara. Serve topped with parsley and croutons.
If desired, use a sliced leek in place of onions. Use prepared croutons or make simple ones by cubing toast or baking cubes of bread at 180°C for 50-10 minutes, until golden.
