- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and paprika, and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the cubed yams to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the yams are tender.
Add the chopped mangoes and coconut milk to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and red chili flakes for an extra kick if desired.
