Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 28-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth to the pot.
Stir in the thyme, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are completely soft.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a countertop blender.
Return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and stir in the coconut milk. Warm the bisque over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
