Asian Potato Soup

I've been looking for a special potato soup, and came across this. This is a delicious way to make potato soup less boring. I alternated the recipe just a tiny bit since I just can't eat garlic. (As you may have noticed, or will notice in my further recipes, I never ever cook with garlic or onions but let me tell you something: meals don't need to have those ingredients in order to be delicious!! trust me, there are other ways to add great flavours)

Now, since the recipe provided by this site is in German only, I will give you my version (which is really very similar) in English :)

What you need:

* potatoes
* vegetable stock
* salt, pepper
* ginger
* 1 red hot chili pepper (tehe...coincidence, I swear! x))
* sesame oil or rapeseed oil
* coconut milk
* ground coriander

Peel and cook the potatoes until they're soft. Remove the water and mash them.
Peel the ginger and cut into cubes. Cut the chili open, remove the insides and cut into small pieces.
Heat a bit of oil in a cooking pot and add the ginger and chili. Let them fry shortly, then add the mashed potatoes and the vegetable stock. (Depending on how much potatoes you have, the amount of vegetable stock varies. I used approx. 7 small potatoes with +/-500ml vegetable stock)
I suggest you pour only as much vegetable stock in the pot until it covers the potatoes, then use the blender to get a smooth porridge, and add the rest later.
Season the soup with salt, pepper and ground coriander and add some coconut milk.
Enjoy :)
