THAI GINGER SWEET POTATO SOUP

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

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger, lemongrass, coriander stalks and curry paste and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until the aromas are released.
• Add the chicken stock, coconut cream and sweet potatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Remove the lemongrass and discard. Carefully transfer to a blender and blitz until smooth. If freezing, for best results freeze at this point, otherwise as an easier option freeze complete recipe.

• Heat the oil or butter in a heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and stir together until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sweet potatoes, regular potato, apples and water and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to an hour, until all of the ingredients are thoroughly tender.
• Using an immersion blender, purée the soup (or you can use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing) until very smooth. Return to the pot, heat through and adjust salt. Ladle into bowls, squeeze a little lime juice and sprinkle a little chili powder over each serving and serve.
