Serves 4

If you find yourself craving cozy comfort food in the next couple of weeks, this sweet potato soup recipe is exactly what you should make. It’s simple, nourishing, and deliciously unexpected. Crusty bread for serving is optional, but highly recommended.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 heaping teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 medium sweet potatoes (1½ pounds), peeled and cubed
1 apple, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, reserve 1/4 cup for garnish

Serving Options

Pepitas, for garnish
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, for garnish
Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh 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.
