Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves ginger, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by peeling and chopping sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, finely chopping the onion, and mincing the ginger cloves.
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced ginger to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to release its aromatic oils and prevent burning.
- Add diced sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with onions and ginger.
- Pour in vegetable broth, ensuring that sweet potatoes are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a standard blender in batches.
- Stir in coconut milk, creating a rich and velvety texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of coconut cream, or toasted pumpkin seeds before serving.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, peel and chop your sweet potatoes and onions the night before. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
- Customize Your Broth: Feel free to use homemade vegetable broth for an extra layer of flavor, or try adding spices like cumin or curry powder for a unique twist.
- Texture Matters: For a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture and leave the rest as is. This adds a delightful texture while still keeping it creamy.
- Garnish for Flair: Enhance the presentation with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, a swirl of coconut cream, or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
- Storage Tips: This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a great option for meal prep. Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
