Sweet Potato Soup - Caribbean Style

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk reduces calories while still providing creaminess.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade stock can be more nutritious and flavorful.

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: butternut squash

💰Cheaper: carrots

Both alternatives provide a similar texture and sweetness.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier while canola oil is often less expensive.

Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in olive oil for a couple of minutes.

Stir in the curry powder and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

Add diced sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using).

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

Remove the scotch bonnet pepper and bay leaf before blending.

Blend the soup until creamy using an immersion blender or a high-powered blender.

Stir in coconut milk and lime juice, then season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
