    Really tasty recipe, I added a little thai fish sauce and some cooked noodles tomake it more like a main meal, would also consider adding some cooked prawns next time.

    Really tasty soup and so quick - I did not bother grating the sweet potato I just chopped into small chunks and only took a few mins longer. I served with flatbreads and was lovely.

    Fantastic soup, used some fresh ginger. Chopped the sweet potato, no need to grate. The texture is lovely and soup very warming. Will be making again and again.

    Really lovely soup, great flavour and you could make this as hot or mild as you like. Served five rather than four and it really fills you up. Great standby dish that you can knock together with no fuss at all.

    I diced the potatoes, they cooked quickly. I thought it tasted delicious. My 4 year old daughter initially refused to taste this but when she did she said it was lovely and demanded a bowl of her own!

    Lovely Soup! really easy to make and everyone loved it. I even won the vote for best dish at our monthly pot-luck supper with it! My aunt made it with carrot and that was also very nice. The Tai Pesto makes a very good addition to it. hmmm..... Just realised that the one I'm talking about is very slightly different to this one as it didn't call for the sweet potato to be grated just chopped, maybe that's what makes this one 'speedy' mine was in a recent edition of the magazine with a tai pesto......

    Gorgeous soup. Easy to make and lovely to eat as well. I added more red thai curry paste than the recipe suggested but then I like food quite spicy. I've also tried it with parsnips instead of seet potato and green curry paste, lovely!!!

    Absolutely delicious. I chunked the sweet potato which worked fine as I blended it. Added a bit more paste to give a bit more of a kick. I also made the flat breads which turned out well. Definitely one to make again.
