Notes about this recipe

    This soup was a rare miss for me; we usually love River Cottage recipes. The combination of the curry powders and coconut wasn’t a win for us. Possibly my curry powder, which I usually love, was not the right one for this. Probably not a repeat as I have other sweet potato soups (such as the moosewood African peanut soup) that I like much better.

    Perfect Fall Soup--warming and delicious. I left out chilies to make it more kid friendly.

    This soup certainly packs some punch with heaps of flavour. I've made this a few times now and love it. I like mine served with a good spritz of lime and even some toasted coconut chips scattered over the top.

    Loved this soup, wonderful pairing of curry, garam masala with sweet potato. The coconut milk gives it a lovely texture and the lime counters the sweetness.

    This is one of my favourite soups - I think the recipe calls for a bit too much lime, though.

    This was pretty good, though not great, for my taste--I like the curried flavors--I reversed the proportion of garam masala and curry powder--but I thought the texture was a bit too starchy. I might try again and roast the sweet potatoes rather than boiling the in the soup. But then again, I may just not like sweet potatoes in soup, so YMMV. C liked it better than I did. With the asian-inspired coleslaw from the same book, and homemade bread on the side.
