Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons optional garnish: toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce them with a fork a few times, place them on a baking sheet, and roast for 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel and set aside.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, then add the roasted sweet potatoes, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender, being careful not to overfill it.

Step 7

Return the pureed soup to low heat. Stir in the coconut milk and maple syrup. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Serve the bisque warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley and toasted pepitas. Enjoy!
