Sweet Potato, Coconut & Soba Noodle Soup
An aromatic bowl of broth flavoured with Thai green curry paste, golden turmeric and fresh chilli. Bubble sweet potatoes and Tenderstem® broccoli in the broth. Serve it with delicious soba noodles.
Ingredients
- A thumb of turmeric
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 chilli
- 1 sweet potato, weighing around 250g
- 200g Tenderstem® broccoli
- 1 tbsp Thai green curry paste
- 200ml coconut milk
- 200g soba noodles
- 1 spring onion
- 2 tbsp tamari
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins
Method
1. Peel and grate the turmeric and garlic (see our tip on stain-free turmeric prep). Finely chop the chilli, flicking out the white pith and seeds if you prefer less heat. Peel and chop the sweet potato into small, 1cm-thick chunks. Trim the dry ends from the Tenderstem® broccoli, then chop into 2cm-long pieces. Fill and boil your kettle.
2. Place a large pan on a medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Tip in the turmeric, garlic, chilli and Thai green curry paste and fry, stirring, for 1 min till the pan smells aromatic.
3. Add the coconut milk and pour in 600ml hot water. Bring up to a gentle bubble, then carefully drop in the sweet potato cubes. Simmer, lid on, for 8-10 mins till the sweet potato is just tender when pierced with a knife.
4. Meanwhile, fill and boil the kettle again. Pour the hot water into a large pan and bring back to the boil. Add the soba noodles and cook for 5 mins, then drain. Rinse briefly under cold water, then transfer to two warm bowls.
5. When the sweet potato chunks are tender, drop in the broccoli and simmer for 2 mins, lid off (this helps keep the broccoli green).
6. Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Add the tamari to the sweet potato broth. Taste it, adding a little salt, pepper or a pinch of sugar, if you think it needs it. Ladle the broth and veg into the bowls with the noodles. Sprinkle over the sliced spring onions and serve straight away.
7. No Stains, All Gains
Fresh turmeric likes to stain everything bright yellow, which is pretty but also annoying. When you’re preparing turmeric, use a glass chopping board or one you can wash up straight away, and wear an apron to protect your clothes. You can squeeze a little lemon juice onto your hands and rub them together to help shift any turmeric stains from your fingers.
