Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
Instructions
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to coat with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup warm over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
