Sweet Potato Coconut Soup

When we were in Seattle yesterday, we had lunch at Ray's Boathouse in Ballard. I started my meal with a lovely sweet potato coconut soup. The sweet potato flavour was gently enhanced by coconut, and accented by a delightful zing of ginger.

Here's my version of sweet potato coconut soup. If you don't have a blender or if you want a chunkier soup, use a potato masher to break down the potatoes a bit before adding the coconut milk.
