Categories     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
4 cups cooked sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato)
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger root
1 can (15 ounces) coconut milk
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon red curry paste
4 tablespoons minced cilantro
4 tablespoons shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan or stockpot on medium setting. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until tender. Remove mixture to a food processor or blender. Add sweet potatoes and ginger, then puree until mixture is smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Add coconut milk, chicken stock, salt, soy sauce, lime juice and curry paste. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the cilantro. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Ladle soup into serving bowls, and garnish with shredded coconut and remaining cilantro. NOTES: instead of blending the whole soup, only blend the onion and ginger. Leave the sweet potato in small pieces. Use an immersion blender to blend some of the potato at the end, but leave the majority of it chunky, so it's more of a broth soup. Add green peas. Not very hot - use more paste. Add protein? chicken or shrimp

Tips for Making the Best Thai Sweet Potato Soup:

  • Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes. Avoid any with blemishes or bruises.
  • Use a Good Vegetable Broth: The quality of your vegetable broth will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Use a high-quality, homemade or store-bought broth.
  • Don't Overcook the Sweet Potatoes: Boil them until they are just tender, not mushy. Overcooked sweet potatoes will make the soup too thick and starchy.
  • Add Some Spice: A little bit of heat can really balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. Add a pinch of chili powder or a few slices of fresh ginger to the soup.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Cilantro, basil, and mint are all great options for garnishing Thai sweet potato soup. They add a pop of freshness and flavor.
