Curried Sweet Potato & Peanut Soup is a comforting, rich, and flavorful dish that combines sweet potatoes with peanut butter, curry spices, and coconut milk. It’s a nourishing vegan, gluten-free soup that’s both creamy and satisfying.

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
    2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
    1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
    4 cups vegetable broth or water
    1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
    Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  1. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon (if using), cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices become fragrant.
  2. Add diced sweet potatoes to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth (or water), bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove from heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the soup to low heat and stir in peanut butter. Mix well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute coconut milk with almond milk or vegetable broth.
  2. For added protein, stir in cooked chickpeas or tofu before serving.
  3. For more heat, increase cayenne pepper or add fresh chilies to taste.
  4. Add greens like spinach or kale in the last few minutes of cooking for extra nutrition.
