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
Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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.
