METHOD:

Heat oil (or spray oil) in a large pot, then fry off cumin seeds, garlic, onion & leek until onions begin to soften. Stir through the remaining spices and fry for a further 1-2mins.

Add the remaining veg to the pot and coat in the spice mix. Add the stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30-40mins or until the potato and kumara have softened and started to break apart. Blend everything together with a stick blender and season with salt & pepper to your taste.
