Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon curry
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ cup can light unsweetened coconut milk
  • Fresh cilantro for serving
  • Toasted cashews for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Cook the onions, celery and carrots until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, ginger, coriander and curry and cook until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
  • Add the vegetable broth and bring mixture to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Puree the mixture with an immersion blender (or regular blender, in batches) to desired consistency.
  • Stir in light unsweetened coconut milk and serve topped with fresh cilantro and roasted cashews, if desired.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Cut the sweet potatoes into small bite-sized pieces. Even though you're going to blend the soup later, it helps to cut the potatoes smaller so they cook faster and more evenly.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: The soup will keep frozen for up to 6 months.
