Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
• 3 carrots (sliced)
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 1/2 pound sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (finely chopped)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or more for thinner consistency)
• watercress
• pistachios
• coconut cream or yogurt
• red pepper flakes
• cracked black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Cook carrots and onions. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and carrots and stir frequently for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the carrots have softened slightly.

2. 2

   Add seasoning. Add the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and paprika. Stir for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the diced sweet potato and vegetable broth. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, add the lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is fork-tender.

4. 4

   Blend. Use a ladle to transfer the soup ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for one minute or until creamy. You can add more broth or water for a thinner consistency.

5. 5

   Serve. Pour into a bowl and garnish with coconut cream or yogurt and chopped herbs. I have more topping ideas in the post above!
