Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup - Slightly Curried

This sweet potato and coconut soup was a great hit with the staff today, especially with the cold weather.  We ate this delicious soup with chunks of buttered french loaf.

You need

2 Tablespoons Oil

2 Tablespoons butter

1 Teaspoon Crushed Ginger

3 Tablespoons Papa's All in One Curry Mix

2 Onions (finely chopped)

2 Red Peppers ( seeded and chopped)

1 kg orange-fleshed Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed

250ml Coconut Cream

1.5 litres Chicken Stock

1/4 Cup Water

Here's How

Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add the onions, ginger, and red pepper and cook until slighly golden. Add Papa's Curry mix and 1/4 cup water. Mix well and cook for a minute, stirring frequently. Add the potato and chicken stock. Simmer for half an hour. Add coconut milk and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to cool and then blend the soup in small batches. Serve with a swirl of coconut cream,  a little chopped coriander and croutons. A french loaf goes well with this soup,
