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.

This soup is very easy to make, but it's not very flavorful. I would recommend adding more vegetables or spices.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but this soup was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes and carrots balanced out the coconut flavor nicely.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also added some chopped spinach and it was delicious.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make soup. I used canned coconut milk and sweet potatoes, and it turned out great. Will definitely make it again.

This soup is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors. The coconut milk adds a creamy richness, while the sweet potatoes and carrots provide a natural sweetness. I also love the hint of spice from the ginger and curry powder.
