🍠 Sweet potato and coconut soup (15 min): an exotic & easy recipe – Neary

• Sweet potatoes (organic or seasonal, well washed)
• Coconut milk (canned for creaminess)
• Yellow or red onion
• Vegetable stock (homemade or from a cube, to boost the flavor)
• A little garlic (optional, to enhance the sweetness)
• Spices: mild curry, freshly grated ginger, turmeric, chili (to taste)
• Salt, pepper, a little touch of olive oil
• Fresh coriander, sesame seeds or cashew nuts for topping (optional but so good!)

Tip: to save time, opt for the Neary homemade soup kit 🥗, composed of ready-to-cook seasonal vegetables.

1. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into not-too-large cubes (the faster they cook, the easier they are to blend 🥄).
2. Sauté the onion in a drizzle of olive oil until it is soft.
3. Add the garlic, spices, and sweet potatoes. Brown, stirring, for 1 minute to release the flavors.
4. Cover with hot broth (see our cl/ml converter if needed!).
5. Simmer over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes, keep a close eye on them 🕒).
6. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut milk. Blend the soup to the desired consistency (more or less creamy).
7. Adjust the seasoning, add coriander or topping, and serve piping hot! 😋🔥
