Harissa is a smoky North African chili paste made from smoked chiles, olive oil, spices, and sometimes tomatoes. Heat and flavor vary from brand to brand. This recipe was made with a French-produced harissa with a mild heat and extra sweetness from tomatoes.
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts thinly sliced (2 cups)
3 Tbs. tomato paste
3 Tbs. creamy peanut butter
1 ½ Tbs. harissa paste
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
1 tsp. ground turmeric
¾ tsp. ground cumin
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick (5 cups)
3 ½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3 oz. spinach leaves, thinly sliced (2 packed cups)
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Blend mixture with immersion blender, adding more water if soup is too

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add leeks, and sauté 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, peanut butter, harissa, garlic, turmeric, and cumin; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add sweet potatoes, broth, and 1 1/2 cups water, and simmer over medium-low heat, partially covered, 20 to 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender. 2. Blend mixture with immersion blender, adding more water if soup is too thick. Bring soup back to a simmer, and stir in spinach leaves. Serve with lemon wedges.

This soup freezes well. I like to make a big batch and freeze it in individual containers. Then I can just thaw a container whenever I want a quick and easy meal.

I love the presentation of this soup. I served it with a dollop of coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more broth or water.

I'm not a fan of harissa, so I used a different spice blend. I used a combination of cumin, coriander, and paprika.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few leftover sweet potatoes after Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I made this soup in my slow cooker. It turned out perfectly! I just threw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is so versatile. You can add different vegetables, spices, and herbs to suit your taste. I like to add a diced apple for a bit of sweetness.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds. It was a great substitute.

I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand. I used almond milk instead of coconut milk and kale instead of spinach. It turned out great!

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less harissa if you're not a fan of spicy food.
