Soup Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Sweet Potatoes and Spices

    Add the cubed sweet potatoes, curry powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the sweet potatoes with the spices.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Once the sweet potatoes are tender, add the black beans and coconut milk to the pot. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or blend in batches in a countertop blender).

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
