Spicy Sweet Potato Soup
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Chopped
- 3 Green Onions, Including The White Part, Chopped
- 3 Large Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Chopped
- 2 teaspoons Red Chili Pepper Paste
- 1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
- 6 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- Salt To Taste
- 5 ounces, fluid Can Coconut Milk
- Sriracha, Lime, And Cilantro For Serving
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and saute until softened and browned a bit on the edges, about 4 minutes. Add the green onions and saute for an additional minute. Add the sweet potatoes, chili paste, ginger, broth and Chinese Five Spice. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium and cook until sweet potatoes are softened, 7-10 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt as needed.
- Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor or use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth. I had to puree mine in 3 different batches in my blender to avoid splattering scalding hot soup everywhere. Return soup to pot and stir in coconut milk. Heat until warmed through.
- Serve in a bowl with a swirl of Sriracha and chopped cilantro.
