Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 large celery stalks, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 6 cups diced)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 4-5 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth (or more if you prefer a thinner soup)
- 1 cup coconut milk, plus more for drizzling
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, over medium heat, heat olive oil and add chopped onion, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Next, add garlic cloves and saute for 30 seconds.
- Stir in diced sweet potatoes and dried thyme leaves. Pour in 4 cups of broth, partially cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Using a hand-held immersion blender or regular blender, puree soup until smooth. Pour soup back into pot (if using blender) and add coconut milk. Stir to combine. If you would like your soup to be a thinner consistency, add more broth until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Distribute soup into bowls and drizzle with additional coconut milk or other suggested toppings, if desired.
Notes
- Prep sweet potato ahead or use ~6 cups frozen cubes for easy meal prep.
- Cut pieces evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess; shake can before opening.
- Blend with an immersion blender slowly, or purée in batches in a regular blender to avoid splatters.
