Ingredients

  • SWEET POTATO SOUP
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup heavy cream divided

How To Make sweet potato soup

  • Step 1
    Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is soft. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, ginger, cumin, smoked paprika, and sweet potato cubes. Cook for 5 minutes stirring several times.
  • Step 2
    Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender. Use an immersion blender or a stand blender with the center cap removed to allow steam to escape to process until smooth.
  • Step 3
    Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream. Ladle into bowls and top with toasted coconut, chopped pistachios, and fresh thyme.
