Number Of Ingredients 12

For the soup:
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or water
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes in half and scrape out the flesh. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot.
  • Add the onions and ginger, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  • Add the jalapeño, coriander, and nutmeg and cook for 3 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Add the roasted sweet potato flesh and stock to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and purée with a handheld immersion blender or food processor until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Divide the soup among 6 serving bowls and sprinkle with the green onions.
