When I first came across this recipe it was titled 'Speedy sweet potato and coconut soup'. Speedy? It took 20 minutes to grate the sweet potato and ten minutes to bring it all to the boil, what's speedy about that. So forearmed is forewarned and this is a delicious soup especially served with warm naan breads. If your creamed coconut comes out of the carton in a solid block as mine did, don't worry, it grates really easily then dissolves nicely into your soup. Sorry about the boring photo, its a bit hard to make soup exciting.
SWEET POTATO AND COCONUT SOUP
- 1 tbsp. garlic oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tsp green Thai curry paste
- 750g sweet potatoes, grated
- 1.5L vegetable stock
- 1/2 sachet of creamed coconut
- seasoning ( I didn't need any)
Heat the oil in a large deep pan then soften the onion for five minutes
Stir in the curry paste and cook for a minute more
Add the sweet potato and stock then bring quickly to the boil and simmer for five minutes till the potato is tender
Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut and seasoning if required
Blend to a smooth consistency with a stick blender if you have one or in a liquidiser
