You will need
3 T (45 ml) canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Green Onion Seasoning
1 t (5 ml) ground turmeric
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 kg sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
1½ T (22.5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Chicken Flavour Stock Powder
3 cups (750 ml) hot water
400 g tin coconut milk
1 x 250 ml Ina Paarman’s Tikka Curry or Butter Chicken Cook-In Sauce
400 g tin of lentils, drained
3 T (45 ml) Ina Paarman’s Coriander Pesto
1 T (15 ml) olive oil
fresh coriander
freshly ground black pepper
Method
Use a large saucepan, heat the oil and add the onion, Green Onion Seasoning and turmeric. Sauté until the onions are glazed. Add the garlic and sweet potato cubes. Stir-fry for one to two minutes to develop the flavour and coat the vegetables with oil. Add Chicken Stock, hot water and coconut milk. Simmer for 15 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft. Add the Tikka Curry Cook-In Sauce or the Butter Chicken Curry Cook-In Sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and, using a hand-held electric blender, purée the soup until smooth. Soup can be made to this stage and re-heated for serving.
Garnish
Toss the drained lentils in a micro safe container with the Coriander Pesto, heat for 1 – 2 minutes in the microwave. Stir in the olive oil. Dish the soup into warmed bowls. Add a few spoonfuls of the lentil mixture. Garnish with fresh coriander and season with freshly ground black pepper.
