Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 10 mins, adding the garlic, ginger and coriander stalks for the last 2 mins. Stir in the sweet potato chunks and korma paste and cook for a further 2 mins.
  2. Pour in the stock and chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil. Turn down to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 mins or until the sweet potato is tender.
  3. Transfer to a blender and add the peanut butter and most of the coriander leaves. Blitz until smooth, then ladle into bowls and top with the chopped peanuts and remaining coriander leaves.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Make the soup, then leave to cool at room temperature. Freeze (without garnishes or toppings) in a rigid container, leaving a bit of space for expansion, for up to 1-3 months. Reheat either from frozen or defrost in the fridge overnight. Once piping hot, add toppings or garnishes and serve.
