We love this bright and warming soup with a hit of lime and ginger. Orange sweet potatoes are sweet, full of flavour and nutrients, and make a good alternative to the great British potato. This recipe is mildly spicy and exotic. A swirl of cream works a treat. Add crusty bread on the side if you like.

Method
-
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over a low-medium heat, then add the sweet potato and cook for 5 minutes, or until the potato begins to soften. Add the onion, garlic and ginger, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes more.
-
step 2
Pour the stock and coconut milk over and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender or use a hand-held stick blender to blitz to a smooth purée. Strain through a fine sieve.
-
step 3
Return to a clean pan and bring back to the boil. Remove from the heat, then add the lime juice, half the zest and 50ml of the cream.
-
step 4
Season to taste. Divide the soup between 4 individual soup bowls, swirl over the remaining cream and add the remaining zest.
