Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs organic sweet potatoes
  • 1 large honey crisp apple (or 2 small apples)
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 large stalk celery or 2 smaller stalks, diced
  • 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • to taste salt & black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 14 oz can coconut milk, unsweetened
Seasonings
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
  • to taste fresh thyme sprigs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and apple, then cube them into 2-inch thick pieces.
  2. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the celery stalk.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for about 3 minutes until soft. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the diced celery and cook with the onions for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour a generous splash of the vegetable broth into the pot to deglaze it, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift flavors from the sautéed vegetables.
  4. Add the rest of the vegetable broth, chopped sweet potatoes, chopped apples, cinnamon, curry powder, ground ginger, coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft.
  5. Remove the thyme sprigs. Blend the soup using a hand-immersion blender or transfer to a high-powered blender and blend for 30-40 seconds until creamy.
  6. Stir in the canned coconut milk, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt or more curry powder if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the sweet potatoes are soft for a smooth consistency. Add cayenne pepper or more curry powder for spiciness. A splash of lime juice can enhance flavor before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
