Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Red chili peppers, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches, ensuring not to overfill to avoid splatters.
- Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to heat through without boiling.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a swirl of coconut milk, chopped cilantro, and sliced red chili peppers.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth slightly, or add another sweet potato.
- For added depth of flavor, roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the pot.
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of red curry paste.
