Sweet potato and split pea soup

There is no photo with this cos, to be brutally honest, this soup is UGLY! But it's extremely tasty and packed with flavour. It's my version of one I got in a leaflet from Wholefoods Market. Next time I make it I might add a chilli, either with the onion at the start or finely sliced to garnish.

4-5 cups water (maybe more)
1 onion, peeled and diced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1/2 a butternut squash, peeled and diced
2 sweet potatoes (medium), peeled and diced
1 cup yellow split peas
Veg stock powder or a cube
Spicy seeds (eg Graze or Munchy Seeds)

Cook off the onion in a little oil or some of the water. Then add the remaining ingredients apart from the seeds, bring to the boil and simmer for an hour. you may need to add more water. To serve, whizz it up and top with spicy seeds.
