Sweet Potato Soup (Curried Kumara Soup) image

An easy, creamy soup with just a hint of curry flavor. This recipe uses sweet potato because it is available in the US. In New Zealand they use kumara which is related to the sweet potato. It is a purplish root vegetable that, when peeled and cooked, is a yellow green color and is an important part of the Maori (native New Zealanders') diet.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (or more to taste)
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 cup vegetable stock or 1 cup chicken stock
3 cups milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cream or 1/4 cup coconut milk
fresh cilantro or scallion, minced

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan sauté onion, garlic, ginger and curry in butter over medium heat until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook 1 or 2 minutes without browning. Add the stock and cover. Cook about 10 minutes, until tender.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender, if available. If not pour solids into a regular blender and puree. Return to pot and thin with milk. Only add enough milk until soup reaches desired consistency.
  • When ready to serve, ladle soup into serving bowls. Swirl in a tablespoon of cream or coconut milk into each bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of fresh minced cilantro or minced scallion on top.

This soup is amazing! It's so flavorful and creamy, and the perfect amount of spice. I love that it's so easy to make, too. I've already made it twice this week!

This soup is the perfect comfort food! It's creamy, flavorful, and so easy to make. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in a pot and let it simmer away. I always make a big batch so I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more curry powder and maybe some ginger next time.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this soup! The sweet potatoes and coconut milk really helped to balance out the curry flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was really easy to make and it turned out great! I used canned coconut milk instead of fresh and it still turned out creamy and flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro at the end and it really brightened up the soup.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sweet potatoes next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much curry powder. Next time I'll use less and see how it turns out.

This was a really easy soup to make and it turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro at the end and it really brightened up the soup.
