Potato Soup - Diabetic

• 1 teaspoon olive oil light
• 1 brown onion large, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 teaspoon red curry paste
• 700 grams sweet potato orange-fleshed, peeled, diced
• 2 cups salt reduced vegetable or chicken stock
• 250 milliliters coconut flavoured evaporated skim milk, made by adding 1 tsp. of coconut essence to 1 cup of evaporated skim milk
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves chopped fresh, to serve
• 1/2 cup thai basil leaves chopped fresh, to serve
• 1 lime quartered, to serve

1. 1.Heat olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened. Then add curry paste, stir and cook gently until fragrant.
2. 2.Add sweet potato and stock (add a little water if needed to completely cover potato). Cover with lid and bring to boil.
3. 3.Lower heat and simmer for around 20 minutes until sweet potato is soft.
4. 4.Allow the potato soup to cool slightly, before blending. Blend with a hand blender, then slowly stir in evaporated skim milk bit by bit so you can control the consistency. (Note, you don't wait to boil the evaporated milk or it will separate.)
5. 5.Serve diabetic potato soup topped with herbs and accompanied by a wedge of lime for squeezing.
