This sounds so good but my family absolutely hates curry! What can I substitute for the curry paste?

I love the sweet potato curry from Sugar & Spice too!! This soup sounds perfect. I’m definitely trying it after I live through all of the upcoming packing/moving/insanity at work that is occurring over the next few weeks.By the way – I LOVE your new layout. Very whimsical!

I love your thai twist on this soup! I’ve never used wheat berries either, but need to try them sometime!

what a lovely flavor combination! It never occurred to me to mix sweet potatoes and coconut milk. I love tom yum soup but this soup is probably the next one I cook. Thanks for sharing!

The Thai flavors in the soup sound so good! And, I have an idea for you for the wheatberries: http://lisaiscooking.blogspot.com/2009/10/wheat-berries-with-vegetables.html

Thanks for all the wheat berry suggestions! I think I’m going to try them in a salad first since we’ve been getting so many greens in the farm share every week!

Sharon – I agree, coconut milk is so lovely in soups.

Elina – We did get the lemongrass at an Asian market.

Erin – I know, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

That’s pretty funny about hiding the sweet potatoes. I really like sweet potatoes but never do anything special with them.

This is my kind of soup! Love the red curry paste. It’s one of my most favorite things.

I like wheatberies in salads and yogurt.
That soup looks awesome! Where did you get lemongrass? Is it sold in a regular supermarket or did you go to an Asian store?

Well, I just use wheatberries in my Misotto! Hee. And they are really nice in a hot salad, or just think of them as a very chewy rice!
The soup looks wonderful, Kerstin! I love the spices and flavors in there. Lovely!

In my opinion, nothing compares to Thai flavors…or sweet potatoes! If you combine the two, you can’t go wrong.

I’ve never cooked with wheatberries before but I hear they are a lot like barley or farro. I think Kevin of Closet Cooking uses them in a few recipes…toss them with bell peppers and feta for a mediterranean spin or butternut squash, tahini sauce, and chickpeas for a super delicious spin.
