Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups vegetable broth (gluten-free)
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime (optional)
Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Swirl of dairy-free yogurt or coconut cream (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and smoked paprika, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and golden.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium. Add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper, and cook another 1–2 minutes.
3. Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the pot with the vegetable broth. Stir, bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Turn off heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender in batches.
5. Stir in the coconut milk. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed. Add broth if thinner consistency is preferred.
6. Ladle into bowls, garnish with coconut cream or yogurt swirl and chopped herbs, and serve hot.
Notes
Roasting the sweet potatoes is essential to unlock their deep, sweet flavor and caramelized texture.
For extra protein, blend in some cooked red lentils or top with roasted chickpeas.
Adjust the consistency with more broth or coconut milk if you prefer a thinner soup.
