Spicy Sweet Potato, Coconut and Chili Soup
Feast your eyes on this vibrant bowl of goodness!
Ingredients:
To concoct this delicious potion, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (400 ml) of coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 red chilies, chopped (adjust based on your spice tolerance)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional, but let’s be fancy!)
Instructions:
Now that we’re all set up, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!
- Start by boiling some water for the sweet potatoes. In a large pot, add your diced sweet potatoes and cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape. About 10-15 minutes usually does the trick.
- In another pan, add a splash of oil and sauté the diced onion until it turns golden and fragrant. Toss in the garlic and chilies, and let them mingle for a minute or two.
- Next, sprinkle in the ground cumin and ginger, allowing those spices to dance around the pan for another minute. Your kitchen will start smelling like a spicy paradise!
- Now, it’s time to add the sweet potatoes into the mix. Pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk, and bring everything to a simmer. Watch it bubble away happily.
- Once it’s bubbling, use an immersion blender (or a regular one, if you dare) and blend it until smooth. If you prefer some texture, blend it partially. It’s your soup, do what you like!
- Season it with salt and pepper to taste. If you want it spicier, throw in more chilies. We’re all about confidence here!
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for that perfect Instagram-worthy finish! Snap a pic and enjoy the compliments.
There you have it! A bowl full of spicy, sweet, and coconut-y warmth. It’s like a hug from the inside. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
