- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into pieces
- 2 onions peeled and sliced
- 2 leeks washed and sliced
- 1 coconut
- ½ cube of butter

Break open the coconut, extract the flesh and remove the brown papery layer from the outside.
Grate the coconut flesh then set aside.
Melt the butter in a pan, add the onions and leeks and fry for about 6 minutes or until soft.
Pour over 750ml of lightly-salted water then add the potatoes and the grated coconut flesh.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook gently for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly then process in a blender until smooth.
Return to the pan, stir in the coconut milk and season with black pepper.
Allow to warm through then divide the mixture between four warmed soup bowls and serve hot.
