Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 cups peeled sweet potato cubes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
- 1 14-ounce can coconut milk (full-fat or light)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- Extra coconut milk or cream (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add the coconut oil. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, until it caramelizes and turns golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 to 6 minutes to release the flavors.
- Add the peeled sweet potato cubes to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sweet potatoes to soften and develop a slight golden color.
- Pour in the low-sodium vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
- Turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a blender. Blend until smooth and silky.
- Stir in the coconut milk and blend again or mix thoroughly until the soup is creamy and smooth.
- Return the soup to medium-low heat and warm through. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with extra coconut milk or cream, and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and hemp hearts for added texture and flavor.
