Ingredients

  • 300 gram chicken fillet
  • 1 liter chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 tsp ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 350 gr sweet potatoes cut into cubes (I used the orange ones)
  • 450 gr carrots cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 250 ml full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the chicken in the chicken stock. Depending on the size of the fillet this should be around 10 minutes. Take out of the stock (don't discard!) and pull apart with two forks.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a big pan and first sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder and cinnamon stick and briefly sauté before you add the sweet potato and carrot cubes. Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
  • Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or so or until the sweet potato and the carrots are cooked and soft. Add the coconut milk.
  • Puree with a stick blender. If it is too thick at this point you can add some more water/coconut milk or stock. Taste and season with salt and pepper
  • Serve the soup with the chicken and the fresh parsley.
