Instructions
- Prepare vegetables: Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and the carrots into cubes. Chop the onion. Set aside. Chop the garlic cloves and ginger. Set them aside separately from the onions.
- Sauté: Heat the coconut oil. Cook the onion with a pinch of salt until translucent, often stirring for about 5-6 minutes on medium-low heat. Don't let it color. Add garlic, ginger, and curry paste and stir well for 1 minute.
- Add sweet potatoes and carrots and stir for about 2 minutes.
- Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes and the carrots are soft (check with a fork).
- Blend the soup with an immersion blender (Note 4).
- Add the coconut milk, stir well and bring to a simmer again. Reheat for about five minutes.
- Adjust the taste with red pepper flakes (or cayenne pepper), salt, and pepper.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Substitute sweet potatoes with Hokkaido or sugar pumpkin, butternut squash, or another flavorful sort of pumpkin.
- Substitute curry paste with 1 teaspoon of curry powder. Or use another spice mixture instead (my favorite replacement is Ras-el hanout).
- Substitute coconut milk with heavy cream or a non-dairy cooking cream (soy, oat, almond).
- Blend: It’s preferable to use an immersion blender to blend soups or other hot liquids to avoid the risk of the blender’s lid exploding. If you use a blender, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches, the blender should only be half full. Place a folded towel on top of the blender and hold it steady. Increase the speed gradually.
