- Saute/fry the onion, garlic, ginger, and curry in the butter in a large saucepan on medium heat till the onion is transparent. Toss in the minced kumara and cook for 1 to 2 min without browning it. Add in the stock, cover, and cook for 10 min, till tender.
- Puree the soup, solids first, then begin to thin with the lowfat milk. When pourable, return to the pan and continue adding lowfat milk till the soup is a good consistency.
- When ready to serve, reheat, then ladle into bowls. Swirl a Tbsp. full of cream or possibly coconut lowfat milk into each bowl, and sprinkle a healthy pinch of fresh chopped cilantro or possibly scallion on top.
- Serve warm to 4 to 6 as a "slightly sweet and very mouth watering" first course soup.
- Comments: When I got this recipe from Kaylie Lewell in Whakatane, New Zealand, I had no idea what "kumara" was. Turns out it is related to the sweet potato. Kaylie says it is "a purple-looking root vegetable which, when peeled and cooked, is a yellow green colour...grown in New Zealand and an important part of the Maori (native New Zealanders) diet. What it also is, is delicious - and so is this soup. Thanks, Kaylie!
