Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil

- 2cm fresh ginger, chopped
- 1 stalk of lemongrass, bashed
- Handful of coriander, leaves and stalks chopped separately
- 2 tbsp red Thai curry paste

- 500g sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 lime, juice only
- 1 tsp sugar

Method
- Grab a large saucepan and heat the oil. Add in the garlic, chilli, ginger, lemongrass, coriander stalks and curry paste and cook everything together for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock, coconut cream and sweet potatoes and cook until the potatoes are soft (usually around 15 minutes). Remove the lemongrass and discard. Transfer everything from the pan to a blender and blitz until smooth.
