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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
