Hi Casey
How much coconut milk and oil do we need because it doesn’t mention it on the ingredients, unless I should know this anyway. Thanks

Hi Casey, Have not tried this recipe as there seems to be ingredients missing!!!! Coconut Milk @ Oil???
How much coconut milk?
Thanks to those of you that let me know there were a couple of ingredients missing. The recipe has been updated. You will need 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Enjoy!
Hi Casey,
I was just wondering if you have an idea on the weight of the sweet potatoes, or how many cups of cubed potato? We rarely see a really small sweet potato in the grocery stores here, so I am looking at using larger potatoes.
Thanks.
Two large sweet potatoes will be perfect or around 600g.
I just made this soup using brown lentils since I didn’t have red. It’s not a very nice colour and would probably look nicer if red lentils had been used, but, it tastes good!! Do you have any idea of the nutritional counts for this recipe?
So glad it tasted good. I don’t know the nutritional count unfortunately but I know it is very good for you
