Sweet Potato And Leek Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the diced sweet potatoes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the pot if necessary, and stir in the coconut milk. Heat the soup gently until warmed through.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired.
