Recently I had lunch with a friend who’s vegan and it made me realise how difficult it can be to eat out sometimes. So that night I put on my thinking-hat, experimented in the kitchen and came up with this Thai-inspired Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup which is fully suitable for Vegan’s.<\/p>\n

It goes really well on its own but would also be fantastic with a cabbage slaw on the side. Hope you like it!<\/p>\n

Serves 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• <\/strong>3 medium sweet potatoes<\/li>\n
• 2 cloves of garlic<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp. vegan red curry paste<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp. fresh ginger<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp. paprika<\/li>\n
• 1 can organic coconut milk<\/li>\n
• 1 handful parsley<\/li>\n
• 1 1\/2 cups organic vegetable stock<\/li>\n
• Organic pepitas<\/li>\n
• Cold pressed organic olive oil<\/li>\n
• Salt & pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  \n
  1. <\/strong>Preheat oven to 180 degrees<\/li>\n
  2. Take a baking tray and spray with olive oil. Peel and dice sweet potato into cubes – transfer to baking tray and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Bake for 30-40 mins or until golden.<\/li>\n
  3. In a pot, heat up some olive oil and add chopped garlic. Fry until golden and soft.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the curry paste, fresh ginger, and paprika to the pot – leave it for a few minutes to release the flavours.<\/li>\n
  5. Add your baked sweet potatoes to the pot and mix.<\/li>\n
  6. Pour in the vegetable stock and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk after.<\/li>\n
  7. Now take the soup off the heat and use your stickblender to mix it all together until it has a smooth texture.<\/li>\n
  8. Transfer the soup back to the heat and taste with salt & pepper. Leave it to thicken for 5 minutes on a low heat.<\/li>\n
  9. Add more water to suit the thickness of the soup that you like, but this is a thicker type of soup.<\/li>\n
  10. Chop a handful of fresh parsley, pop it in the soup and mix.<\/li>\n
  11. Ladle the soup into two bowls and sprinkle with organic pepitas for some ‘crunch’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
