CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• To make the soup, combine the sweet potatoes, 1 cup of coconut milk and the chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor and puree until smooth. Mix in the remaining coconut milk and the salt. Reheat before serving, and stir in the lime juice and additional salt, if needed.
• To make the condiments, combine the ginger, lemon juice, oil and salt in a shallow dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the broiler. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place the bananas on a greased baking sheet and broil until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Place the shrimp, bananas, coconut, almonds and cilantro in separate bowls.
• Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Serve, passing the condiments, including Tabasco, separately.

• Heat the coconut oil in a casserole or wok over a medium heat and add the onions, dried chillies, ginger, garlic, curry leaf and mustard seeds, fry for 12-15 mins until the onion is soft, then stir in the tomato purée, chilli and turmeric and continue to cook for 1-2 mins more. Pour in the coconut milk and 200ml water, simmer the sauce for 20 mins, then blitz in a blender or with a hand blender until smooth.
• Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and bring up to a simmer. Stir in the cauliflower and potato, cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add the prawns and poach for 2 mins, or until they turn pink. If freezing, cool and freeze, then defrost and reheat when you're ready to eat. To serve, scatter the spring onions, coriander and peanuts over the curry and squeeze over a little lime juice.
