Thai Sweet Potato Soup

Thai Sweet Potato Soup
Thick, satisfying and full of Thai flavour! This will warm you up during this Icy weather!
(the hubby’s fave)
You will need:
Serves 4
1 T Canola oil
2 T Yellow, green or red curry paste
1 bunch of leeks, sliced
250 g cubed sweet potato
250 g cubed butternut(or sweet potato – I use a bit of butternut for colour)
2 cups weak chicken stock(I use Ina’s)
1 tin lite coconut milk
Large handful of coriander
Fish or soy sauce to taste
In a large pot, add the paste and leeks to the heated oil and saute until soft and glossy.
Add the sweet potato/butternut, stock and 1/2 the coconut milk, stir well, cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until soft.
Add the remaining coconut milk and 3/4 of the coriander and blend with a hand blender or food processor until smooth.
Season with some fish or soy sauce and garnish with coriander.
* Use yellow paste for mild and red if you like it HOT!
*You could use onions instead, but I love the subtle flavour of leeks
Feeling warm yet?

I love Thai flavours – especially in soups. This one sounds like a real winter warmer.
