Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 13

450g (1lb) sweet potatoes, cut into cubes
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 leek, trimmed and finely chopped
1 lemon grass stalk, trimmed and halved
1 red chilli, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1 tsp freshly grated root ginger
1.25 litres (2 1/4 pints) vegetable stock
4 tsp tomato purée
400g can coconut milk
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
chilli oil , to garnish
fresh micro coriander, to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6).
  • Place the sweet potatoes in a baking tin, drizzle over 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil and roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, leek, lemon grass, half the chilli and the ginger and sweat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the roasted sweet potato with the stock and tomato purée, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid has slightly reduced and all the vegetables are completely tender.
  • Pour the coconut milk into the pan, reserving about 3 tablespoons from the top of the can as a garnish, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste. Remove the lemon grass and then blend with a hand blender until smooth.
  • To serve, ladle the soup into warmed bowls and swirl in the reserved coconut milk. Add a drizzle of the chilli oil, then sprinkle over the reserved chilli slices and micro coriander.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I often have a can of coconut milk left over from making a curry or another Asian dish. This soup is a great way to use it up and avoid waste.

This soup is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats and lauric acid, which has antiviral and antibacterial prop

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes and the creamy texture of the coconut milk. I often sneak in other vegetables like carrots or spinach and they don't even notice.

I love the versatility of this soup. You can add different vegetables, spices, and herbs to create a different flavor profile each time. I've made it with carrots, celery, spinach, and even black beans. It's always delicious.

I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I decided to give this soup a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The coconut milk adds a subtle sweetness and creaminess that really complements the sweet potatoes. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was perfect for a cold winter day.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think next time I'll use less sweet potatoes and add some vegetables like carrots or celery.
