Equipment
- Staub Dutch Oven
- Vitamix Blender
- Vegetable Broth
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt heaping
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1½ pounds
- 1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk reserve ¼ cup for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and the apple and cook until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, and smoked paprika and stir. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and then 3 cups of the broth and the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and top with a swirl of coconut milk, pepitas, cilantro, and Aleppo pepper, if desired. Serve with crusty bread.
Notes
This soup thickens as it cools. If reheating it, stir in a little water to create a smooth, creamy consistency.
