Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes cooked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
Optional toppings
- ¼ cup raw hazelnuts toasted and chopped
- ¼ cup raw pistachios toasted and chopped
- drizzle of maple syrup or olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your sweet potatoes first. Pierce your sweet potatoes with a fork and cook on the appropriate potato setting for your microwave. You'll want the potatoes cooked soft enough for them to be easily mashed with a fork.While the potatoes are cooking, chop your onions and prep your other ingredients.
- In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and tender, about 6-8 minutes. Add your garlic and cook for 1 minute. Scoop out your cooked sweet potatoes and add them to the pot, followed by the maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer mixture to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to pot.
- Stir in almond milk and allow to heat for 1 to 2 more minutes. If you want a thinner consistency, just add a little more almond milk until desired consistency is reached.Serve hot and top with nuts, olive oil, or maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use frozen chopped sweet potatoes or canned sweet potato puree to cut down on prep time.
