Sweet potato, spinach, split pea and coconut soup

Makes 2 very large portions or 3 smaller ones

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 onion
• 1 clove of garlic (if you have them to hand, you could also use some chopped fresh chilli and/or some fresh ginger)
• 1 sweet potato
• Frozen spinach
• Handful of split peas
• 1/2 mug coconut milk

Equipment:

• Saucepan (with lid)
• Hand-blender
• Chopping board and knife

NOTES: I use frozen spinach (it’s cheaper and more convenient) but if you have fresh stuff to hand then just make sure you chop it finely. I also prefer to mix up coconut milk from a powder rather than buying the tins since I never need a full tin’s worth at once. But if you’re doubling the recipe or can’t get hold of the powdered stuff I can’t see that it would make any difference.
