1. Warm the oil and butter together in a saucepan and add the chopped onion. Cover with a lid and cook over a medium heat for a few mins before adding the curry powder. Add the potato and continue to cook for a further 5-10 mins.
2. Pour the milk and 500ml water over the potatoes, then sprinkle in the vegetable stock cube. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are completely tender. Season with a pinch of salt and blitz in a blender until smooth. For a slightly sweet touch, add the mango chutney, a teaspoon at a time to suit your taste, liquidising until smooth. Divide the soup into bowls, finishing with the coriander leaves if you have them.

  Hi there, Thanks to all of you for pointing out the lack onf ingredients. It looks like a gremlin's been in our system and stolen them. Thanks to mom shakes for putting up the ingredients in the meantime, we've now reinstated them so hopefully you can all get on and enjoy this delicious soup! Caroline and the bbcgoodfood.com team.

  Great recipe. I cut the potatoes even smaller so it cooked quicker. I added in 200ml of water when i added the milk and another 150ml at the end to thin it out.
