Very simple and tasty! I didn't have chicken stock or fresh ginger so I used water and mild curry powder instead, and it was really nice. The coconut milk makes it. Would definitely have more depth with chicken stock, though. - 20 Jun 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Enjoyed making and tasting a different soup but would probably add less coconut milk next time. It seemed quite rich. Made it before Christmas and froze it. The family gave it the thumbs up! - 01 Jan 2013 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Very easy to make, I followed the recipe except for the coriander which I did not have. I cubed the sweet potato into quite small pieces and used "easy" ginger from a jar. I served it with garlic bread and it was delicious. - 23 Jan 2013 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
