  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed approximately 1½ pounds
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14-ounce) full-fat coconut milk, reserve ¼ cup for garnish

Serving Options

  • Pepitas, for garnish

Instructions
 

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

Notes

This soup thickens as it cools. If reheating it, stir in a little water to create a smooth, creamy consistency.
