Equipment

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
1 cup peeled and chopped onions
1 cup peeled and chopped potatoes
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
4 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth (to keep it vegetarian)
1 tsp finely grated lime zest (optional)
1 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped

Instructions

In a large saucepan heat the oil over medium-low.
Add the sweet potatoes, onions, and potatoes and stir to combine.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover the pot and cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the curry powder, allspice, broth and lime zest (if using) and stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat and then lower the heat and simmer it gently, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
Puree the soup, either with an immersion blender or in batches in a food processor or blender.
Return the soup to the pan (if not using an immersion blender) and stir in the coconut milk and cilantro.
Heat the soup over low, stirring occasionally, for another 1 to 2 minutes, until warm.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.
