SERVINGS:

Ingredients

Soup
  • 600 g sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
  • Heat a large pot with the coconut oil to medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until slightly browned.
  • Add ginger, turmeric and chili, stir and cook for another minute to infuse the flavours. Then add the cubed sweet potato and sauté on medium heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft.
  • Pour into a blender and add the peanut butter. Blend on high speed until perfectly smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a little warm water and blend until you get the desired consistency. 
  • Serve warm, garnished with roasted peanuts, chopped parsley, and coconut milk or any of your favorite toppings.
