Sweet Potato Buttermilk Soup

A creamy soup with crispy bacon and tasty prawns is a wonderful midweek meal.
The prep work is not intensiv. The cooking time is about 25 minutes.

I like to cook with sweet potatoes, but soups were not in my repertoire
until now.  Curry powder and sweet potatoes go nice together. Mostly soups like this are prepared with coconut milk. For a leaner version I used buttermilk.

Recipe:
600 g peeled sweet potatoes
100 g shallot
1 spring onions
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
500 g buttermilk
500 ml veg stock
1 tsp Java curry
1 tsp Anapurna curry
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
Pepper
100 g streaky bacon
100 g prawns
Basil

Chop onions and garlic and cook them in olive oil for 3 min.
Put the sweet potato through a shredder and saute them with the onions for 2 more min.

Put in the spices and the liquids and bring to a boil, cook for 20 minutes. Use a stick blender and make a very fine creamy soup.
While the soup is cooking. Grill or pan fry the bacon. Dry on kitchen paper and toss the prawns into the baco grease.
Finish the soup with a little green leaves
