Instructions
 

Main Ingredients

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and fresh ginger to the pot and sauté until fragrant and soft, about 7 minutes. Stir frequently so that onions and garlic don’t burn.
    1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil, 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic
  • Add chopped sweet potatoes, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, ground pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using.
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger, 2 large sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • Add coconut milk and vegetable broth to the pot and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
    1 pinch cayenne pepper, 1 15 oz can coconut milk
  • Use an immersion blender to blend soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender you can use a blender. Just blend in batches, making sure to not fill your blender past the maximum fill line and be extra careful because the soup will be hot!

Toppings

  • Serve in a bowl with toppings of choice.
