Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant.
Stir in cumin, coriander, and optional cayenne pepper; cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour in vegetable broth; add cubed sweet potatoes and chopped apple along with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender or by transferring it to a blender until smooth.
Return the blended soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in coconut milk if using; adjust seasoning as needed before warming through.
Helpful Notes:
To elevate your soup experience, consider adding more veggies like carrots or spinach for added nutrients. For a vegan twist, omit any cream or substitute with extra coconut milk. Customize your toppings with roasted chickpeas or fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
