7. Heat a tbsp of oil on medium-low heat in a saucepan big enough to hold the soup. Add in the whites of the spring onions, the ginger an the garlic.

9. After another minute add in the coconut milk and stir until smooth. Add the stock pot with the 700ml of boiled water and bring to a simmer.
10. Peel and chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks.
11. Add the peanut butter and the sweet potato chunks.

13. Simmer gently for 10 mins.
14. After 10 mins test the sweet potatoes to see if they are soft enough to eat. Test for seasoning and add a little more salt if needed.

And of course being a typical Asian, for I had to have a bowl of rice! How can you have this without rice or bread?! The soup is pretty much a curry!

I really liked this 'soup' It was very rich and tasteful and I would defo make this again.
And that is the end of my journey with Hello Fresh. I enjoyed cooking the recipes that they gave me, I wouldn't have made these recipes otherwise and be introduced to the ingredients. After making the feta cheese and mint burger recipe, I have been loving feta cheese and mint combo! And I would not have known to put them together otherwise! My kitchen skills are ah building!
