Purple Sweet Potato and Parsley Root Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 3 large purple sweet potatoes, sliced in half
- 2 shallots, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 knob ginger, pureed
- 2 parsley roots, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- white pepper, sprinkle
- 4 cups, vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup of Anita’s coconut yogurt or coconut milk (cream)
- tablespoon, pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes for 30 minutes at 350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Rub 1 tbsp of olive oil over the sweet potatoes and place the potatoes cut side down on baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes at 350F or until soft.
- Sauté Shallots, Parsley Root, Herbs and Spices While potatoes are baking, place the remainder of the olive oil in a medium soup pot. Sauté the shallot for 2 minutes or until fragrant and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger, parsley root, cumin, salt, and pepper over medium heat for 3 more minutes. Add 2 cups of broth and stir over medium low heat to soften the parsley root, about 7 minutes.
- Skin and Puree the Sweet Potato Remove baked potatoes from over. Let cool so you can peel potato skins. Add baked sweet potato flesh to the soup pot. Puree until smooth with an immersion blender or food processor. Transfer the puree into the pot and add remaining broth. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Top with coconut yogurt (or cream), pomegranate and serve
