directions
Sweat the onions, garlic and ginger in oil and vegan margarine. Add sherry and sugar, and sweat further for 5 minutes until it goes thick and sticky.
Add water. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, soy sauce, tomato paste, sesame seeds, chili flakes and coconut milk. Simmer for 1 hour until all vegetables are soft. Top off with water as it evaporates.
Puree with a hand blender, then add coriander, cumin and lemon juice. If you prefer smooth soup blend in an electric blender.
To make the pesto, puree all the ingredients together. If it is too thick, add some sunflower oil to loosen it. Garnish the soup with coconut pesto and diced sweet potato.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
