Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrot
• 2 stalks celery stalk
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots and celery.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.

Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the almond milk, cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt.

Step 9

Heat gently over low heat until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
