Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup frozen baby peas
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Dice the yellow onion and add it to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the sweet potatoes are fully submerged. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to combine flavors.
Add the frozen baby peas and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are heated through but still vibrant in color.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
