Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet potatoes (kumara), peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, stirring to coat the onion mixture in the spices.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and mix well with the spice blend.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend in batches.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper, and return the pot to low heat to warm through.
Finish the soup by stirring in the lime juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
