I made this soup last night and it was so yummy, I am going to share the recipe.....

COCONUT, SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP


2 tablespoons butter
500g sweet potatoes, cut into cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon medium curry paste (I used a Thai red curry paste)
2 1/2 cups coconut milk
juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed chillies
3 cups shredded fresh spinach
salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, ginger and curry paste for 5 minutes or until lightly golden.

2. Add the stock, coconut milk, lime juice and chilli. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

3. Leave the soup to cool a little, then puree half of it with a hand-held blender. Return the puree to the pan, add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach has just wilted and the soup has heated through. Season to taste.

BON APPETIT!
