Amazing Benefits of Coconut Milk

Coconut milk adds that irresistible creaminess while also offering some impressive health benefits:

✔ Supports Immunity – Contains lauric acid, known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

✔ Boosts Iron Intake – Helps prevent anemia.

✔ Gentle on Digestion – A great lactose-free alternative for those who can’t have dairy.

Plus, it gives the soup a lovely tropical aroma and silky texture that makes every spoonful special.

How to Prepare Sweet Potato Coconut Creamy Soup

1. Begin by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes.

And, dicing the onions and garlic.

2. Sauté the aromatics.

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Add the sweet potatoes and spices.

Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Pour in the vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Partially cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

4. Blend until smooth.

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth. (Or transfer to a blender in batches).

5. Add the coconut milk.

Return the blended soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Simmer for a few more minutes to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

6. Serve & enjoy!

Pour into warm bowls and garnish with a swirl of coconut milk and some fresh green onions or crunchy croutons.

Tips for the Best Creamy Soup

Choose orange-fleshed sweet potatoes – They’re sweeter and creamier than the white variety.
Adjust the spice level – For a bolder kick, add a pinch of cayenne or extra chili powder.
Make it richer – Stir in a spoonful of nut butter (like cashew or peanut) for an extra silky texture.
Storage tip – Let it cool fully before refrigerating. Keeps up to 4 days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
