4 tablespoons butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon curry powder (or more to taste)

3 cups milk

1/4 cup cream or 1/4 cup coconut milk

1 lb sweet potato, peeled and diced
Instructions
- In a large saucepan sauté onion, garlic, ginger and curry in butter over medium heat until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook 1 or 2 minutes without browning. Add the stock and cover. Cook about 10 minutes, until tender.
