Ingredients
- Soup:
- Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a pot
- Sauté a delightful mix of ½ cup of chopped celery, ⅔ cup of chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic
- Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth, adjusting to your liking
- Season with ¾ teaspoon of ground turmeric, ¾ teaspoon of ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon of ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper
- Add in 2 cups of cooked and mashed sweet potatoes and 1 cup of canned unsweetened coconut milk
- Pesto:
- For the flavorful pesto, combine 1 cup of stemmed and chopped kale, ½ cup of coarsely chopped English walnuts, and ¼ cup of nutritional yeast
- Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon (adjust to taste), add 1 clove of garlic, salt, and ground black pepper
- Drizzle in 5 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, adjusting as needed.
Step 1
Start by heating olive oil in a large saucepan until it shimmers over medium heat. Toss in celery and onion, stirring until they soften for about 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, which should take around 1 minute. Throw in broth, turmeric, ginger, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 2
Carefully transfer the contents into a high-speed blender, making sure to cover it with a lid. Blend on high for a minute. After that, add in mashed sweet potato and coconut milk, continuing to blend until the soup achieves a creamy consistency, which usually takes about 4 minutes. If the soup appears too thick, feel free to add more broth or water. Keep the soup warm by covering it.
Step 3
For the pesto, combine kale, walnuts, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Process or blend at high speed until it forms a paste, remembering to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. This typically takes around 3 minutes. Slowly pour in olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. Adjust the consistency by adding more oil or lemon juice if necessary.
Step 4
When ready to serve, ladle the warm soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of pesto.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark pantry to help them stay fresh and flavorful.
- 2. Store your kale in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel to maintain its crispness and color.
- 3. Pesto can be stored in an airtight container with a thin layer of olive oil on top to prevent oxidation.
