Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour [1]
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil [2]
- 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups cooked cubed sweet potatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger [3] (or fresh, to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon [3]
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg [3]
- 1 cup milk*
- salt [4] and pepper [3], to taste
In a heavy saucepan, over medium-low heat, cook the coconut flour and virgin coconut oil, stirring constantly until the roux turns a light caramel color. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Stir in the sweet potatoes and spices. Bring to a simmer again and cook for 5 minutes more.
In a blender, puree the soup in batches (or all at once if blend pitcher is big enough) and return to saucepan (or use a hand blender). Add the milk and gently reheat the soup. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
* You could use rice, almond, or coconut milk to make soup dairy-free. For coconut milk make homemade coconut milk [5] or use 1 teaspoon of coconut cream concentrate [6] for every 6-8 oz of water for coconut cream milk. Mix together and use as directed.
