Ingredients
For the Soup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil or substitute olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger or 1 teaspoon ground dry ginger
- 6 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 pounds carrots peeled and diced
- 1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 14.5 oz can coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce optional - salt to taste for vegetarian
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
For Garnish
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 1 cup roasted peanuts chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and curry paste, then sauté another 2 minutes.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes, diced carrots, and broth. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Purée the soup with an immersion blender, leaving a few chunks if desired. Alternatively, transfer small portions to a countertop blender and purée in batches, being careful not to let the steam blow the top off the blender. Return soup to Dutch oven.
- Stir in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and black pepper.
- Serve garnished with lime wedges, peanuts, and cilantro.
Notes
Store the Thai Sweet Potato Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in individual portions for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Avoid boiling to maintain the soup’s creamy texture. You can also reheat in the microwave, stirring every 1-2 minutes until hot.
