Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
⅔ cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
3 (14 ounce) cans vegetable broth
2 tablespoons dark rum
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 ¾ cups pineapple juice
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
¼ cup toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and celery and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Cover the pot and stir often to prevent sticking.
  • Add ginger, curry power, bay leaves, salt, and nutmeg to the pot with the vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Add sweet potatoes, stock, rum, and lemon zest and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Pour pineapple juice into the pot and cook until warmed, about 3 minutes.
  • Puree soup using a stick blender until smooth. Reheat gently, if necessary. Stir in lime juice. Garnish individual bowls with coconut flakes and cilantro.
