Spicy Curried Sweet Potato Soup image

I whipped this up after finding a great deal on a huge amount of sweet potatoes at the farmers' market and ran out of things to make with them. This is a little spicy, but you can adjust to your taste. Garnish with sliced basil leaves and sour cream, if you like.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, peeled
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken stock
1 teaspoon curry paste
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
½ (14 ounce) can coconut milk

Steps:

  • Combine sweet potatoes, onion, and garlic cloves, in a pot. Add chicken stock, curry paste, and curry powder; bring to a low boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in diced tomatoes with chile peppers, basil, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt. Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth; you can also use a regular blender or food processor to do this.
  • Bring soup to a low boil again and stir in coconut milk. Adjust salt if needed.
