Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 150 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 600 g)
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (about 200 g)
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder (mild or hot)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (960 ml)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, for garnish
  • Optional Add-ins: 1 cup cooked lentils or chickpeas, pinch of chili flakes, 2 tablespoons cashew or peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Stir to coat them with the aromatics.
  4. Mix in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and release their flavors.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are tender.
  6. Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.
  7. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and the juice of 1 lime. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve the sweet potato curry soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves, a pinch of chili flakes, or a drizzle of coconut milk if desired.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, toast the spices before adding the broth.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture; light coconut milk can be used for fewer calories but will result in a less creamy soup.
  • Add cooked lentils or chickpeas for an extra boost of protein and heartiness.
  • Stir in the coconut milk at the end of cooking to prevent separation.
  • The lime juice is essential for brightening and balancing the flavors of the soup.
