Instructions
1-Start by setting up your ingredients, which takes about 15 minutes of prep time. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chopped onion along with salt and pepper, sautéing until soft for 5 to 8 minutes. Next, add the sweet potatoes and apple, stirring occasionally until they soften, about 8 to 10 minutes this builds the base of your sweet potato soup.
2-First Steps: Building the Base Stir in the garlic, ginger, coriander, and smoked paprika, cooking until fragrant. Add the apple cider vinegar, then pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth and the coconut milk, reserving ¼ cup for garnish. This step ensures the flavors meld beautifully in your sweet potato soup.
3-Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender. With a total cook time of around 30 minutes, you’ll have a comforting meal ready in just 45 minutes.
4-Pureeing and Finishing Let the soup cool slightly, then puree it in batches using a blender or immersion blender until smooth. If it’s too thick, add more broth as needed and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve with a swirl of the reserved coconut milk and your chosen garnishes for a polished finish.
