Sweet Potato And Lemongrass Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, then add the spring onions, garlic, lemongrass and three-quarters of the ginger and cook for 2 mins until aromatic, then tip in the sweet potato. Give everything a good mix so the sweet potato is well coated, then add the coconut milk, stock and 500ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for around 25 mins until the sweet potato is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, tip the remaining ginger, the chilli, sugar, three-quarters of the lime juice and most of the coriander (reserving a few leaves for a garnish) into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Transfer the sambal to a small jug and set aside.
• Blitz the soup with a hand blender until smooth, then season to taste with the remaining lime juice and some salt and pepper. Divide the soup between bowls and top with the coriander sambal. Garnish with the reserved coriander leaves.

Steps:

• In large, heavy soup pot, heat the oil medium-hot and saute the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the ginger, jalapeno and garlic and saute 2 minutes more.
• Add the sweet potato and water. It should be just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes.
• Tie the lemongrass stalks together with string and put the bulb/base ends into the soup.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the potatoes break apart, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Discard the lemongrass stalks. P.
• uree the soup -- I use an immersion blender right in the pot, or you could do this in batches in the food processor or blender.
• Strain the soup through a fine sieve (I didn't even bother with this step).
• Stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Clean and smash lemongrass stocks, then tie in a knot and boil with ginger in water (with veggie stock paste) for 30 minutes.
• Remove lemongrass and ginger.
• Add mushrooms, tofu, garlic, garlic chili sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, and black pepper. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for better flavor.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6).
• Place the sweet potatoes in a baking tin, drizzle over 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil and roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, leek, lemon grass, half the chilli and the ginger and sweat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the roasted sweet potato with the stock and tomato purée, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid has slightly reduced and all the vegetables are completely tender.
• Pour the coconut milk into the pan, reserving about 3 tablespoons from the top of the can as a garnish, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste. Remove the lemon grass and then blend with a hand blender until smooth.
• To serve, ladle the soup into warmed bowls and swirl in the reserved coconut milk. Add a drizzle of the chilli oil, then sprinkle over the reserved chilli slices and micro coriander.
