- 4 cups sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- ½ cup onion diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
- 4 cloves garlic minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2-3 teaspoons curry powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, if you like a little heat
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- handful of toasted pepitas and/or red pepper flakes to garnish
- splash of coconut milk or almond milk, or heavy cream (optional, if you'd like extra creaminess)
Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat.
Add the onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until the ginger and garlic are fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes, turmeric, curry, cayenne pepper (or paprika if you prefer less heat). Mix well.
Add salt and vegetable broth. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat until the potatoes are soft.
Puree the soup using an immersion blender. Or puree it in batches using a regular blender or food processor (being very careful with the hot liquid!)
Return the blended soup to medium heat. Add more broth, if needed, to adjust the consistency of soup. Also, check and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Serve hot with a gentle sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a handful of toasted pepitas.
