Ingredients
Scale
- 6 to 7 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, roughly chopped
- 1 celery stalk, roughly chopped
- 6 cups vegetable stock

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and roast for 1 hour until tender when pierced with a pairing knife. Let the sweet potatoes cool before peeling them and cubing the flesh.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery for 6 to 8 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the sweet potatoes and vegetable stock. Increase the heat letting the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes.
- Take the soup off the heat and stir in the coconut milk, curry paste, salt and pepper. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth. Pour the soup back into the saucepan to reheat. Top with cilantro, yogurt and lime juice before serving.
