This is really easy & totally delicious

 

 

Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy based saucepan, & set over a medium heat

 

Add 500g of sweet potato (peeled & chopped into small chunks) & 1 red onion, partially cover with a lid & cook for 15 mins, stirring often.

 

When they are soft & turning golden add 1tbsp Thai red curry paste & cook for 3-4 mins until fragrant.

 

Add 1 400ml can of coconut milk (reduced fat is fine) & 500ml of vegetable stock & bring to the boil.

Check the sweet potato is cooked through, & then whizz in the blender until silky smooth.

 

You can top this with a THAI PESTO.....it really adds something to the soup.

This makes a lot, but it freezes well in small portions

 

Put 100g unsalted peanuts,2 cloves garlic,2tsp grated ginger,2 large green chillies (chopped),1 small bunch coriander, 1 large handful fresh mint,1 large handful fresh basil,2tbsp light soy sauce,2 tbsp lime juice & 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar all into a blender & whizz until finely chopped.

That sounds delicious - I really like making homemade soup so will put this on the list

Sarah, I made this last night and it was delicious. I have frozen some and kept the rest in the fridge for my lunch.

 

I added a clove of garlic, and a kaffir lime leaf (took the leaf out before whizzing it though)

 

Thank you for a lovely, and easy, recipe.

Funnily enough I've just bought the ingredients to make this today but realise I don't have enough freezer bags. Might send ES out to get some. Looking forward to tasting it.

[The Dogmother]

I use the plastic tubs from Lakeland to freeze things.

Glad you liked it Clare

We all love it, & I always make double now & freeze half

I had it for lunch today with some rice with coriander and lime that I'd made and was languishing in the fridge... absolutely delicious!

[Seagazer]

I made it today and it tastes lovely.

 

Good idea to have it with some rice as well. It will be interesting to see if my husband would eat it as he doesn't like coconut but loves Thai.
