Recipe type: dinner, soup, thai
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp refined coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion roughly diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 heaping tbsp ginger, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp yellow (or red) Thai curry paste*
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 3 medium (or 5 small) yams
  • 1 15 oz can full fat coconut milk
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 batch of crispy chickpeas** (see notes)
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
  1. Peel and chop yams into 1 inch pieces and roughly chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Set a large, deep frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil. Once heated, add onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add salt, pepper, and curry paste and stir for 1 minute to combine.
  4. Add yams and stir for another minute or two to coat the yams in the curry paste.
  5. Add the coconut milk and veggie stock and stir to combine.
  6. Bring the pan to a simmer and then cover and cook for for 10 minutes.
  7. After ten minutes, uncover and cook for another 15 minutes. Check your yams at this point for softness by sticking a fork through a thick piece. If you can easily pierce through the yam, they’re done.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a high speed blender.
  9. Blend on high for 3 minutes. Taste test and add extra salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve with chopped cilantro and crispy chickpeas.
Notes
* This is the brand of curry paste she uses.
