Method
step 1
Heat half the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 4-5 mins or until just beginning to soften. Season, then stir in the garlic, swede, sweet potato, curry powder and cayenne, if using. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins or until fragrant.
step 2
Pour most of the coconut milk into the pot, reserving 2 tbsp. Add the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 25-30 mins or until the swede is tender. Remove from the heat and blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Meanwhile, mix the remaining oil with the lime juice and coriander.
step 3
Serve the soup in bowls, topping with the reserved coconut milk and the coriander mixture.
