Once the garlic is starting to brown add in the chilli to taste. You can use any type of chillies depending on your preference – flakes, hot sauce, powder, fresh or preserved.

Add in the potatoes and stir so that all potatoes have a coating of oil.

Add in the creamed sweetcorn – using the sweetcorn can add in one can of cold water.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Add in one tablespoon of peanut butter and one half of a small can of coconut cream.

If you don’t have coconut cream you can use a flat tablespoon of desiccated coconut and two tablespoons of water.

Reduce to simmer and cook for another 10 minutes.

Taste – add chilli to taste if required.

Serve

Serve with crusty bread or flat bread at lunch.

To add a bit of interest you can slice corn on the cob into small chunks – around 1cm wide – and add into the soup to cook about 5 mins before serving.
