- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion medium sweet, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 stalks celery roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper medium, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic smashed and peeled*
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger finely grated, use a fine zester to grate
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 cups low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 3 russet potatoes medium, about 12 ounces, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 sweet potatoes medium, about 1 1/4 pounds peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely grated
- 1 pound carrots peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 head cauliflower cored and coarsely broken
- 10 ounces frozen peas bag tiny, add at the end when blending

- 16 ounces frozen edamame add at the end when blending

- For the soup, heat olive oil in a large pot oven over medium heat. Add onions, celery and garlic. Reduce heat to medium low and saute onion mixture until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add ginger, ground coriander and brown sugar. Saute for another minute until fragrant.
- Add broth, potatoes, sweet potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a constant simmer and cover with lid slightly ajar. Cook until all veggies are very tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer soup to KitchenAid(R) TorrentTM Magnetic Drive Blender. Process on the "Soup" setting. If soup is too thick add a bit more chicken broth to thin. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- For the topping, combine Greek yogurt, milk and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Ladle soup into bowls. For garnish, spoon drops of yogurt mixture (Greek yogurt thinned out with a little milk) over the surface of the soup. Swirl with a toothpick. Add a sprinkle of poppy seeds, if desired. If you want to keep the soup totally dairy-free, omit the topping and just garnish with poppy seeds or finely chopped cilantro.
