Asian style sweet potato-coconut-peanut soup
Start with roasting the unsalted peanuts under constant stirring for about 5 minutes. Set aside and let them cool down a bit.
Peel the sweet potatoes and parsnip and cut it into 2 cm cubes.
Add the roasted peanuts, ginger, chili to taste, kaffir lime leave, coconut milk, salt, juice of 1 lemon and turmeric powder to a high speed blender and blend about 3 minutes or until smooth.
Heat up the coconut oil in a large saucepan and add the sweet potatoes and parsnip. Let them take on colour for about 4 minutes and when ready deglaze with veggie stock. Add the peanut mix, bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 15 minutes. When sweet potatoes are soft blend with a handheld blender until smooth.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide your soup to bowls and top with coriander, some extra coconut milk and sprinkle with coconut chips. Bon Appetit!
