Sweet potato, lime and coconut soup
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 fat cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 inch square piece of ginger, peeled and julienned
2lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
zest and juice of 2 limes
2 pints vegetable stock
half a block of creamed coconut
salt and pepper
Heat and oil, and sweat the onions until they got transparent. Add the garlic and ginger and fry gently for a couple of minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and fry a further couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the stock, season, bring to the boil and simmer, covered, gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is cooked and soft.
Cool slightly. Liquidise. Add the creamed coconut in chunks and stir until dissolved. Heat gently, if required. Season again to taste, and throw in the lime juice just before serving. Yo can use more coconut cream if you like a really creamy soup (I do).
This makes a sweet and creamy soup, which is a nice change from my usual version which has chillis in it.
