Sweet Potato and Lime Soup with Coconut and Chives
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 c Onions thinly sliced
- 2 stalks Celery chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
- 2.5 lb Sweet Potatoes peeled and chopped
- 3 c Vegetable Broth
- 2 tsp Lime Zest
- 6 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- .25 c Full Fat Canned Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Fresh Chives chopped
Instructions:
- Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan and add the onions. Sweat it gently for 6-8 minutes until softened and translucent, then add the celery and garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Add sweet potatoes to the pan, together with the vegetable broth and lime zest and bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook for 15-18 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
- Working in batches, transfer soup to a blender and blend until completely smooth, making sure to leave the feeder cap open so that steam can escape and your walls remain the color they are supposed to be! If you have a hand blender you can use that instead.
- Return soup to the pan and reheat if necessary. Taste and add salt, adjusting the quantity to suit your own palate.
- Pour into warmed bowls, swirl a little coconut milk on the top if you like, scatter over some snipped chives and serve.
