Instructions
- In a large heavy pot with a lid, such as a Dutch oven, melt the coconut oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté over medium-low to low heat for 5-10 minutes, until softened and browned and starting to caramelize. (This is a great time to prep the rest of your ingredients)
- Add the minced garlic (3 cloves), ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon), ground cumin (1 teaspoon), curry powder (1 tablespoon), and crushed red pepper, if using (½ teaspoon). Stir to coat the onions and heat for about 1 minute, until spices are toasted and garlic is fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and drained and rinsed chickpeas. Stir to coat in the spices. Pour in the broth (4 cups) and canned coconut milk. Turn heat up to high and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes have fully cooked (when pierced with a fork they are very tender). Turn off heat.
- Optional: To thicken the soup a bit, you can use your immersion blender to blend the soup with a few pulses directly in the pot, or a potato masher to mash some of the ingredients up a bit. Be careful not to do too much, as you still want whole potatoes and chickpeas in there.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and the chopped fresh cilantro, if using. Add salt to taste. Serve.
Notes
- Other potatoes can be used, gold are nice because they hold their texture well, whereas russets can get a little mushy if cooked for a long time (but will still taste great!). Sweet potatoes can be used too, but will have a sweeter flavor.
- The smaller you dice the potatoes, the shorter time they will take to cook! If you want a faster soup, dice them smaller.
- Full fat coconut milk will yield the best flavor rather than low fat. If you don't want to use full-fat coconut milk, you can stir in some heavy cream or half and half at the end. And for a healthier option, stirring in Greek yogurt will also work here (though it has a tendency to separate out a bit).
- The amount of salt you add will depend on a few factors, which is why an exact amount is not given. Depending on the salt content in the broth and the canned chickpeas, you may not need to add any at all! So be sure to taste and adjust at the end as needed.
