Ingredients

• 2 large Sweet potatoes
• 2 medium Jalapenos
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat if desired. Add them to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Drizzle the sweet potatoes and jalapenos with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 6

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the onion. Add them to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 8

Once the roasted sweet potatoes and jalapenos are done, transfer them to the pot with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches, blending until creamy and then returning it to the pot.

Step 11

Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!
