Coconut Sweet Potato Soup recipe from FOX 11 Living

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: almond milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while almond milk is a more budget-friendly option.

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: butternut squash

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Butternut squash offers a similar sweetness and texture, while regular potatoes are often less expensive.

Start with a Dutch oven on the stove and heat it until hot.

Chop an onion: cut off both ends, peel it, and then cut it in half. Make small dice cuts while keeping the top intact to hold it together. Add the diced onion to the pot and let it sweat down.

Chop garlic and add it to the pot after the onions have softened, to avoid burning the garlic.

Cut sweet potatoes into cubes, season with curry powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, and mix with olive oil. Roast them in the oven until soft and caramelized.

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, add them to the pot with the onions and garlic.

Pour in coconut milk instead of broth and bring to a simmer.

Let the soup simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors.

Prepare a garnish with drained and rinsed chickpeas, drying them on a towel before roasting them in the oven for crunch.
