Description

This creamy Sweet Potato Coconut Soup is a cozy, vegan, and gluten-free recipe made with roasted sweet potatoes, coconut milk, ginger, and garlic. It’s an easy one-pot soup perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep, and packed with nourishing ingredients.


Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

3 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime wedges


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes until tender.

2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.

3. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the pot, then pour in vegetable broth and coconut milk.

5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

6. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches).

7. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Add extra broth to thin if desired.

8. Serve hot with cilantro, red pepper flakes, or a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess.

Soup can be stored in the fridge up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.

Roasting sweet potatoes enhances their natural sweetness and flavor.
