I never liked that teacher (shockingly enough) and had no intention of ending up in purgatory for having poor shopping choices, so my Butternut Squash, Coconutand Cumin soup became SweetPotato, Coconutand Chilli Soup
For a meat-free Monday, I decided to cook a sweetpotato, butternut squash andcoconut soup. Sweet, spicy, zingy and full of flavours, a real comfort food
As much as I like Summer and the warm, balmy evenings… HA I live in Wales who am I kidding. I’m all for snuggly jumpers, fleecy throws, steamed puddings and SOUP
Today I’m sharing my favourite sweetpotato chili andcoconut soup recipe. It was a little spicier than my family’s palate allows for, so I’ve toned down the chili, brought in some additional flavours for extra depth, and reduced the amount of sweetpotato for a less thick soup
This sweetpotato, coconutand lemongrass soup has a velvety texture, is suitable for the entire family and very easy to prepare (as you are probably busy enough this time a year)
Although our tastes may have evolved to grinding all sorts of spices that were unheard of back when I was a kid for things like this where you just want that curry hit then you can’t go wrong with a good quality ready made Curry Powder which will marry really well with the sweetness of the potato in this soup
I prefer sweetpotatoes to butternut squash in soup for some reason, and I feel that they have more a flavour themselves instead of taking on the flavour of whatever you cook them with
Add sweetpotatoes. When potatoes are fully softened, blend soup until mostly smooth but a little texture remains using a hand blender directly in the pot or by transferring to a countertop blender in batches
Stir in the spices then add the sweetpotato, chicken, coconut milk and stock and bring to the boil. This morning I woke up with glands like golf balls, and when I got home from work all I wanted to do was pass out on the sofa - but I'd missed pottering in my kitchen all weekend, so decided to make soup instead and use up a couple of sweetpotatoes
The method I use to make this Roast SweetPotatoand Red Pepper Soup has become one of my favourite ways of making a quick and tasty soup, perfect when you want something that can be prepared with the minimum of fuss
