4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 lemongrass stalk, thinly sliced

2cm piece ginger, peeled and   finely grated

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add leek, spring onions, garlic, lemongrass, ginger and half the chilli, cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add fish stock, coconut milk, sweet potato and lime leaves and bring to the boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the sweet potato is just tender.
