Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Blender (or immersion blender)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Cooking the Soup
  1. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder to the pot, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil before reducing heat and simmering for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and pepper, heating through gently without boiling.
  5. Serve the creamy sweet potato soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or a drizzle of extra coconut milk if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the curry powder. This soup can also be made ahead and reheated; it often tastes even better the next day.
