Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, warm the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the shallot, ginger, garlic, green chile, cilantro stems and lemongrass, season with salt, and sauté until fragrant and soft. Add the coconut milk to the pot, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Transfer the broth to a blender and add fish sauce, soy sauce, lime, 1 cup of chard leaves and 1 cup cilantro leaves. Puree until fully blended -- it should become bright green. Reserve warm until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir the remaining 1 cup of chard leaves into the coconut broth.

  3. 3

    Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil and blanch the Stokes Purple® sweet potato cubes until fully cooked. Once done, drain and transfer to the coconut broth.

  4. 4

    Divide the rice noodles between four serving bowls and ladle the soup over top. Garnish with scallions, while mint leaves and the remaining ½ cup of cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
