Thai chicken and sweet potato soup

Using coconut cream makes this a VERY sweet soup, which I think would pair well with a sandwich for a filling lunch. I made a couple of adjustments based on what I had leftovers wise that I needed to use: I used half sweet potato and half acorn squash, and just added leftover cooked Turkey at the end. I cheated and used the ginger and lemongrass purées I had in the fridge, and homemade Turkey stock. For future reference, I’d definitely use coconut MILK in place of the cream, and instead of doubling the recipe, I’d keep the amount and serve with cheese or maybe even turkey sandwiches (and forgo the meat in the soup).

I used pumpkin, sweet potato, and butternut (using up what was on hand) and didn't add the chicken (meatless Monday). We enjoyed it, but added a little 5 spice for some extra flavor as it was slightly bland before. We topped with a drizzle of coconut cream and an extra squeeze of lime. We'll definitely make again!

Make it without the chicken

Really tasty, I used light coconut milk, 2 red chillies and 200g of mini breast fillets. Very filling will be making it again soon

Don’t bother with sweet potato but add red pepper and carrot for a lighter version and don’t bother to blend
