1. Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil followed by the onion. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the turmeric and coriander, letting the spices toast for a minute or so. Peel and cube the sweet potato then add it to the pot along with vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let cook until the sweet potatoes are tender.

RECIPE NOTES

Tips & Tricks: For a good coriander flavor, buy whole coriander the toast and grind before adding to the soup. Also, if you do not feel like buy a yellow onion and scallions, swap the yellow onion out for 1 bunch of scallions.

TURMERIC SWEET POTATO

variations

One of the things I love most about this soup is how easily it can be adapted. The core flavors can easily stand up to changing the vegetable or adding protein. A few of my favorite ways to switch up this turmeric sweet potato soup:

LENTILS: For an added bump of protein, add ½ cup red lentils to the soup and drop the amount of sweet potatoes back to ¾ pound. Cook until the lentils are tender, adding more broth as needed.

CARROTS: Carrots are also really lovely in this soup. Use all carrots in place of the sweet potatoes or use half carrots, half sweet potatoes.

CORIANDER: I love the bright, citrusy flavor of coriander. If you’re feeling adventurous, boost the amount of coriander up to 2 teaspoons. It becomes the predominant flavor but it’s really good.
