Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and fresh ginger to the pot and sauté until fragrant and soft, about 7 minutes. Stir frequently so that onions and garlic don’t burn.
  2. Add chopped sweet potatoes, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, ground pepper and cayenne pepper, if using.
  3. Add coconut milk and vegetable broth to the pot and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender you can use a blender. Just blend in batches, making sure to not fill your blender past the maximum fill line and be extra careful because the soup will be hot!
  5. Serve in a bowl with toppings of choice.
