Sweet Potato, Coconut & Chilli Soup

This Soup is like a big hug in a bowl. It is thick, creamy and has a good punch of spice. This recipe is enough for about 5 servings so it is perfect for lunches at the office or you can freeze it to use later!

 

Ingredients

  • 5 Medium Sweet Potatoes
  • 3 Medium Carrots
  • 3 Large white Onions
  • 2 Tins of Coconut Milk
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Red Chilli –  if you want the soup to be less spicy only use 1/2 a chilli
  • 5cm knob of Fresh Ginger
  • Handful of Fresh Coriander
  • 1 L of Vegetable stock
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste
  • Table Spoon of Coconut Oil for cooking

To Serve (Optional)

  • Chickpea Croutons
  • Chilli Flakes
  • Bread
  • Fresh Coriander
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Drizzle of olive oil

 

 

Directions

  1. Peel & roughly chop the potatoes, Onions & Carrots (I leave the skin on the carrots)
  2. Heat the Coconut Oil in a large saucepan, tip in the onions and cook for about 10 minutes till soft.
  3. Meanwhile peel the garlic, crush with the blade of the knife and roughly chop. Peel and roughly chop the ginger, chilli and coriander.
  4. Add all of the above to the pan with the onions, stir, cook for about 5 minuets.
  5. Add the carrots & potatoes, give the contents of the pan a good stir and cook for a couple minuets.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk & the stock, stir everything together and bring the pan to the boil. Bring the heat down to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 – 20 minuets till the carrots & potatoes are nice and soft.
  7. Take the pan off the heat. With a handheld stick blender blend the soup in the pan. When you have a nice thick consistency the soup is done.
  8. I like to have mine with crunchy chickpea croutons, coriander, chilli flakes, drizzle of olive oil or yoghurt!

Enjoy!
