Method

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pan and gently sweat the spring onions, garlic and ginger with a pinch of salt until soft without colour (about 3 minutes)

Add the sliced sweet potato to the pan and cook for a few minutes, then add the coconut milk and water. Simmer for 30 minutes

Prepare the garnish as the soup cooks. Place the ginger and spring onion in a small pan with the vegetable oil and heat over a very low heat for a few minutes. You want the ginger and spring onion to be just soft and flavouring the oil, rather than sizzling

After 30 minutes, check if the sweet potato is soft. If so, transfer the contents of the pan into a blender and blitz into a smooth soup. Taste and season with salt and pepper

Serve hot with a drizzle of the ginger and spring onion dressing and a crack of black pepper
