Lazy Monday Cumin Sweet Potato Soup
I found that freshly grinding cumin seeds gives the most lovely smell and flavor. Cumin contains iron, which combined with all the nutrition in the sweet potato, makes this not only a delicious, simple dinner, but a very healthy one also!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 cups water enough to just cover potatoes
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp Better than Boullion, vegetable
- ground pepper
- pink sea salt
Instructions
- Heat large pot over medium heat ( I like to use my Creuset Dutch Oven), add coconut oil. Add onions and cook until they get soft and begin to caramelize. Stir in garlic, thyme, rosemary, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes more. Stir in sweet potatoes and cook about 5 minutes until they begin to caramelize also. Add water until it just covers potatoes. Add Better than Bouillon. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer, about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.Turn off heat. Blend, using an emersion blender, until smooth. Add more salt, pepper or cumin to taste. Garnish creatively. A swirl of coconut milk, some hemp or pumpkin seeds, cilantro, maybe? Enjoy!
