Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 lime lime wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, corn kernels, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup directly in the pot, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
