Sweet potatoes, carrots, and aromatic Thai spices, simmered to perfection with creamy coconut milk. This soup is expertly blended to a velvety consistency, making it a rich and comforting. Pairs wonderfully with vegan naan bread, if desired.
Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Now add the Thai curry paste and continue to sauté for a further minute.
Add the sweet potato, carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Place a lid on top, and turn the heat up to medium-high. Allow the soup to come to a simmer, then turn the heat down to low and allow to simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to blitz the soup until completely smooth, then add the coconut milk and stir to combine. If you wish, you can reserve a tablespoon or two of the coconut milk to garnish the finished soup.
Taste the soup and if needed add a little more salt or pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of sriracha. Serve with a side of vegan naan if desired.
Notes
Oil-free: for oil-free, omit the oil and do a water or broth sauté.
