Vegan Carrot And Sweet Potato Soup Food

SWEET POTATO-CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large stock pot. Add onion, garlic and salt. Stir until onions become translucent and garlic fragrant.
• Add carrot and sweet potato and continue to saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add spices and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes until carrot and sweet potato become tender and soft.
• Puree with an immersion blender (recommended) or place small amounts of soup into blender and puree that way.
• Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

VEGAN CARROT AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Next, add the garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute.
• Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, broth, and coriander (if using), cover the pot and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
• Turn off the heat, remove the lid and add the chopped cauliflower florets to the pot. Let the soup sit for about 10 minutes.
• Transfer everything to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches.
• Return the soup to the pot. Season with salt to taste (I added about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt). Add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper if you want a hint of spice. I like eating the soup at about this temperature. If you want it hotter, warm the soup at medium heat for a few minutes.
• Serve the soup in bowls and top with coconut milk, sliced scallions, and red pepper flakes, if you desire.
