If you have a VitaMix, use the soup program to create this unusual sweet potato soup.Here's my personal awesome and over the top delicious recipe:
Curried Sweet Potato, Ginger, and Papaya Seed soup
2 (5”-6” long and pump) sweet potatoes
2 cups unsweetened/unsalted cashew milk
2 cups water
1/3 cup unsweetened plain coconut yogurt
2 tbls ginger juice – make it yourself--see below
3 tbls papaya seeds, fresh, blended finely with 1/3 cup water
1 leek (white part only), chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ tsp salt
1 tsp Madras Curry powder
Sprig thyme (optional garnish--or for those who want it super spicy, sliced jalapeno)
Method:
Scrub and steam sweet potatoes for 35 mins. Allow to cool, then slip peels off.
Meanwhile, sauté leeks in 1 tsp EVOO until lite brown, then add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
Remove from heat.
Liquify fresh papaya seeds with 1/3 cup water in VitaMix on high. Likewise for the ginger:
2 tbls chopped ginger to 1/2 cup water.)
Add everything to 48 oz VitaMix container and blend on the 'soup' program:
Spicy and amazing!
