Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 head Cauliflower, cut into small florets
Liquids
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Oils
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided)
Instructions
-
Roast the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into small florets, toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
-
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
-
Cook the Sweet Potatoes
Add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, around 15-20 minutes.
-
Blend the Soup
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender.
-
Stir in the Coconut Milk
Add the coconut milk to the pureed soup and mix well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and allow it to heat through on low heat for a few minutes.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh sweet potatoes and cauliflower greatly enhance the flavors.
- Don’t Rush the Roasting: Ensure both the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are well-roasted to caramelize their natural sugars.
- Control the Creaminess: Adjust the amount of coconut milk based on your preferred consistency.
- Season Gradually: Taste and adjust seasonings throughout cooking for the best flavor.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skip the roasted cauliflower topping; it adds texture and visual appeal.
