Lovely smooth, tasty soup. Perfect for lunch on a Winter day or any day. I forgot the cilantro leaves until I was sitting down to eat. They do make a big difference. I used powdered Coconut milk

Awesome soup! Roasted the yams in the slow cooker, used my homemade curry paste & homemade chicken broth! Lovely easy soup to put together. This will definitely be made again! Thanks Pia for another keeper! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

O.M.G. The first word out of DH's mouth was "phenomenal"! And I agree. This soup is simply awesome. I used my own homemade red curry paste, and the lemongrass (homegrown!) came shining right through. I did double the curry paste, because we like it spicy. The sweet potatoes were the perfect complement to soothe the heat. The only change I made was to process the broth, onions and ginger because I didn't think the chunks would be that good. I'm glad I did. Once the coconut milk was added, it was smooth and creamy. Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe. We'll definitely be making this over and over!
