Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, sesame oil, or vegan margarine
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 pears, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice, or to taste
  • salt and pepper (freshly ground) to taste
Instructions
  1. In a pot, heat margarine on medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and sauté for 1 minute. Add sweet potatoes, pears and thyme and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add paprika and veggie broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potato is soft.
  2. Wait for soup to cool down a bit before you puree it, otherwise it will explode in the blender because of the heat.
  3. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. Add coconut milk, maple syrup and lime juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. If soup is too thick add a little extra broth.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, adding more syrup or lime juice as needed. Drizzle with maple syrup if preferred. Can be made up to 2 days ahead of time.
