Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Chop the onion and add it to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Mince the garlic and ginger, and add them to the pot. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics.

Step 6

Season with ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the sweet potatoes in the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
