Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups yams (peeled and diced)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the olive oil is hot, sauté the chopped onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, cooking for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices slightly.
Add the diced yams to the pot and stir to coat them with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the yams are tender when pierced with a fork.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or curry powder for extra flavor, if desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
