Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 (15 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
3 cups vegetable broth
3 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the sweet potatoes directly on the rack and bake until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and heat for 1 minute, then whisk in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes and cut into bite size chunks. Add to the soup and cook for 5 more minutes so they can soak up the flavor. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a little bit of cilantro.

SWEET POTATO AND COCONUT SOUP



Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup image

Provided by Neven Maguire

Categories     Soup/Stew     Ginger     Sweet Potato/Yam     Lemongrass     Simmer

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid potatoes that have any soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before blending: Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize the natural sugars and give the soup a richer, more complex flavor. You can simply toss the potatoes with olive oil and salt, then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the soup a creamy, rich texture. You can use light coconut milk if you prefer, but the soup will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Add some heat with ginger and red pepper flakes: Ginger and red pepper flakes add a nice spicy kick to the soup. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges: Fresh cilantro and lime wedges add a bright, refreshing flavor to the soup. They also make the soup look more appetizing.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato soup with coconut milk is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The soup is packed with nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. It is also a good source of fiber and protein. The addition of coconut milk gives the soup a creamy, rich texture and a slightly sweet flavor. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
