Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Heavy cream or additional coconut milk (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to start softening.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are completely tender.
4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. You can also transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender if needed.
5. Stir in the coconut milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
6. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a swirl of heavy cream or additional coconut milk if desired.

Helpful Tips

• Variations: Add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or a spoonful of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
• Beginner Friendly: If you’re new to cooking, start by prepping all your ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smoother.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
• Substitutions: You can use heavy cream instead of coconut milk for a richer soup or substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth if you’re not vegetarian.

Pairings

This Sweet Potato Soup pairs wonderfully with warm, crusty bread or a simple green salad. For drinks, a spiced apple cider or a glass of Chardonnay complements the earthy flavors beautifully.
