A silky, lightly sweet soup made with tender sweet potatoes and creamy coconut milk, infused with warming ginger and curry spices. This comforting vegan soup is perfect for a cozy meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated

Liquids

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

Spices & Seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and grated ginger, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Sweet Potatoes and Broth: Incorporate the peeled and diced sweet potatoes into the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  3. Simmer: Cover and simmer the soup for approximately 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Blend Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until silky.
  5. Add Coconut Milk and Curry: Stir in the coconut milk and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm through gently for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup.
  • If you prefer a thinner soup, add extra vegetable broth to adjust the consistency.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for added brightness.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freezes nicely.
