Smoky Sweet Potato Soup

What to do when you have a friend come over and realize that you should probably feed them and you have a couple sweet potatoes that need used up? Sweet potato soup, of course!!!

Ingredients:

1/2 Tbl coconut oil
1 onion (diced)

1 tsp minced garlic

1 red pepper

3 sweet potatoes (baked or steamed and smashed)

1/2 cup coconut or almond milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 Tbl smoked paprika

1/2 Tbl chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

lemon juice

avocado

cilantro

Process: 

In a medium sized pot, saute coconut oil, onion, garlic and red pepper until softened and golden. Add smashed sweet potatoes, spices and liquids. Transfer to blender in batches and blend. Transfer back to pot and heat through. 

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Makes 6 servings. I generally save 2 servings in the fridge and put the others in mason jars in the freezer. Then I just take them out and let them thaw when I know that I will want one later.
