Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and diced

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for a creamier texture)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and carrot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

    Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot, then sprinkle in the ground cumin and smoked paprika. Mix well to coat the sweet potatoes with the spices. Cook for another 2 minutes.

      Add Liquid: Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

        Blend Into Creaminess: Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender.

          Finish with Coconut Milk: Stir in the coconut milk, and return the soup to low heat just until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit of spice, add some red pepper flakes.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy sweet potato soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Enjoy warm with your favorite crusty bread on the side!
