Sweet Potato Soup
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons avocado oil, or olive oil
3 carrots, sliced
1 yellow onion
1 1/2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 cups vegetable broth, or more for a thinner consistency
Garnish
watercress
pistachios
coconut cream or yogurt
red pepper flakes
cracked black pepper
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large stockpot on medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and carrots and stir frequently for 6-8 minutes, or until the carrots have softened slightly.
Add the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Stir for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potato and vegetable broth. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, add a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is fork-tender.
Use a ladle to transfer the soup ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend on high for one minute or until creamy. You can add more broth or water for a thinner consistency.
To serve, pour into a bowl and garnish with coconut cream or yogurt, chopped pistachios, red pepper flakes, cracked black pepper, and watercress.
Tips:
Try not to exceed 1 1/2 pounds of sweet potato, otherwise, you may exceed the maximum fill line on your blender.
Remember that you can always add a little water or broth as necessary to achieve a thinner consistency.

pistachio and coconut cream garnish? Gosh 
I’ve been on a watercress kick lately- salads, soups, throwing it into just about everything, even tacos! 
It’s really tasty and nutritious- I’ll definitely be trying it out as a garnish!
