Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large, chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 large, chopped carrots
• 2 chopped celery stalk
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet potatoes, chicken broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 7

Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the coconut milk and fresh thyme.

Step 8

Reheat the soup over low heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
