Creamy Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup

Soups

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 4 carrots chopped
  • 4 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and chopped
  • 4-6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger root grated
  • 1-2 cans full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup hemp hearts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or arugula for garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté Veggies: In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the sweet potato and broth. Add seasoning including herbs, turmeric and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
  • Option: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until desired texture.. If you prefer a chunkier texture like I do, blend half and leave the rest as is.
  • Stir in Hemp Hearts: Mix in the hemp hearts and coconut milk (or cream). Let the soup warm through for another 5 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or arugula and a sprinkle of extra hemp hearts for texture.
