    ingredients for the soup on white background

    Ingredients:

    • sweet potato: the co-hero for this dish! You can either peel your sweet potato or leave the skin on - totally down to you! The sweet potato is roasted for this soup recipe and for best results cut the potato into cubes before roasting.
    • sweet red peppers: for this recipe I've used those pointed sweet red peppers you can get in the grocery store. They have a wonderful sweetness that creates the signature taste for our soup.
    • onion: I like to use yellow onion as an aromatic to roast alongside the rest of the vegetables.
    • garlic: there's no soup without garlic for me! I like to add it to the rest of the vegetables and roast it in the oven to bring out the delicious notes of roasted garlic.
    • salt: season the veggies with a little salt before roasting, it does not only season them, but also helps draw the water out of the onions and peppers and gets them super roasty in the oven.
    • olive oil: my oil of choice for the roasted vegetables is olive oil, as I simiply love how it compliments the flavors of the soup. You can use your preferred choice of oil, just make sure it's one with a high smoke point.
    • fresh ginger: I like to keep my fresh ginger in the freezer as this makes it much easier to grate for any recipes. The ginger adds a little bit of a kick to this sous without being to overpowering.
    • vegetable stock: I like to use a vegan-friendly stock cube for this recipe and mix it up with boiling water.
    • coconut milk: the coconut milk will make this soup super creamy!
    • sweet paprika powder: this seasoning adds a delicious layer of flavor to the soup!
    • nutritional yeast: adds a delicious cheesiness to the soup!
    • salt & pepper to taste

    To garnish:

    • non-dairy cream
    • herbs
    • toasted pine nuts
    • toasted sourdough bread

    Equipment:

    • large saucepan
    • Item 2
