Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth if you’re not keeping it chill with veggies
  • 1 cup coconut milk or regular milk for extra creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro lime wedges, yogurt or sour cream, roasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Don’t rush this step—flavor starts here.
  • Add garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant. If you love aroma, this is your cue to smile.
  • Toss in the sweet potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  • Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender right in the pot, or transfer in batches to a regular blender. Be careful—hot soups love to erupt.
  • Stir in the coconut milk (or dairy milk) and season with salt and pepper. Warm through for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings. It’s delicious naked too, but toppings are the party.
