Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs organic sweet potatoes Peeled and cubed
- 1 large honey crisp apple Or 2 small apples, peeled and cubed
- 2 Tablespoons oil For sautéing
- 3 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 large yellow onion Diced
- 1 large celery stalk Or 2 smaller stalks, chopped
Broth and Seasoning
- 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth For the base of the bisque
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Plus more to taste
- 1 14 oz canned coconut milk Unsweetened
Herb
- 1 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the sweet potatoes and apple, then cube them into 2-inch thick cuts.
- Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the celery.
Cooking
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil and sauté the diced onion and garlic for 3 minutes, until soft. Add a pinch of salt.
- Add the diced celery and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Pour a generous splash of the vegetable broth into the pot to deglaze it. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bits off the bottom.
- Pour in the rest of the vegetable broth, add the chopped sweet potatoes, chopped apples, cinnamon, curry powder, ginger, coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and fresh thyme sprigs. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are soft.
- Remove the thyme sprigs using a fork or tongs. Use a hand-immersion blender or transfer the soup to a high-powered blender and blend for 30-40 seconds on high until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- If you used a blender, pour the soup back into the pot and stir in the canned coconut milk. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or curry powder if needed.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust the spices to suit your taste; if you prefer a spicier bisque, add more curry powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you like a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture, leaving some sweet potato and apple pieces for texture.
