Equipment

1 Dutch Oven or large pot

Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
¾ teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
1 large sweet apple like honeycrisp or fuji - peeled and chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
½ cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk
salt & pepper to taste
chopped cilantro garnish

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onions and sauté gently until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the curry powder and ground coriander to the pot and sauté for an additional 20 seconds, to bloom the spices.
Now add the sweet potatoes, apple, and vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring that the broth covers the sweet potatoes and apples. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the soup to simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and apples are soft.
Remove the pot from the heat. Blend the soup using an immersion blender (or a regular blender), until it’s smooth. Stir in coconut milk. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup and top with chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

The amount of salt and pepper added will depend if your curry powder has salt or pepper in the mixture. I suggest tasting the soup and then adding any salt and or pepper if desired.
