Creamy spicy sweet potato, sweetcorn and coconut soup (vegan)

2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
2 small onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, sliced finely
2-3 hot chillis, sliced finely (I leave the seeds in but remive if you don't want ti too spicy)
1 inch cube ginger, chopped finely
1 large sweet potato, chopped roughly
2- medium sized carrots, peeled and sliced
1 16oz tin coconut milk
2 heaped teaspoons bouillon powder
1 medium tin sweetcorn kernels
juice of 1 lime
tamari (soy sauce) to taste

1. Heat oil in a saucepan, and gently fry onion until soft and transparent.
2. Add garlic, chilli, ginger and fry a little longer.
3. Add the thick coconut milk from the top of the can and fry gently for 2 minutes.
4. Add the sweet potato and carrot, the rest of the coconut milk and 3/4 pint of water with the bouillon powder.
5. Bring to the boil and reduce heat.
6. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove from heat and blitz until smooth.
8. Add sweetcorn, lime juice and tamari to taste. You are after a nice balance of sweet, salty, spicy and sour. None should dominate.
9. Serve.
