Author Notes: Turning simple roasted sweet potatoes into a deeply flavorful, creamy-but-vegan soup is a breeze when you blend them with slowly cooked onions and prepared vegetable stock. - Weird & Ravenous
Serves 4
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons ground curry powder
- 1 pint good quality vegetable stock
- Coarse sea salt
- Cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds for serving
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Toss the sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil and cinnamon together on a parchment-lined baking sheet with a pinch of salt. Bake until the sweet potatoes are softened and a little bit browned, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and curry powder and cook, stirring occassionally, until softened and browned, a solid 10 minutes.
- Combine the sweet potatoes and the onions in a blender along with the chicken stock and, working very carefully, puree until smooth.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and serve hot with a scattering of cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Made this recently. Delicious! I added 3/4 cup of dried lentils and 2 1/2 extra cups of flavorful homemade vegetable stock to give this a protein boost, as I was serving as part of a vegan dinner. Also added an extra, small sweet potato, to maintain the strong flavor of the roasted sweet potato. Roasting the sweet potatoes makes such a difference! Also gave each bowl a good squeeze of lime, to brighten the soup up a bit. Will most certainly make this again! ;o)

There are a couple steps missing here. What do you do with the sweet potatoes after you take them out of the oven. Are you using an immersion blender?
