Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

1 large onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for deeper flavor)

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for maximum creaminess)

1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional toppings: Chopped fresh parsley, pumpkin seeds, or an extra swirl of coconut milk

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until they turn translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until it becomes fragrant.

    Combine in the Crockpot: Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to your crockpot. Next, add the diced sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, ground ginger, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and coated with the spices.

      Cook Until Tender: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork.

        Blend to Desired Smoothness: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a traditional blender, do so in batches, ensuring you let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splattering.

          Incorporate Coconut Milk: After blending, stir in the full-fat coconut milk, adjusting the seasoning with salt and black pepper to your liking. If the soup appears too thick, add a little more vegetable broth until you achieve your desired consistency.

            Warm Through: Keep the soup on low heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it heats through thoroughly.

              Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the creamy sweet potato soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, a handful of pumpkin seeds, or a delightful swirl of additional coconut milk for a beautiful presentation.
