How to Make Sweet Potato And Coconut Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated). Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  2. Add 1 kg sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed), and 2 stalks lemongrass (bruised). Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in 1 litre vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Let the soup cool slightly. Carefully transfer half of the soup (about 500ml) to a blender. Add 100ml of full-fat coconut cream and blend until completely smooth.
  6. Return the blended soup to the saucepan. Stir in the remaining 100ml of full-fat coconut cream.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Heat through gently (do not boil). Stir in the juice of 1 lime.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with lime zest (from 1 lime).
