In a heavy-bottomed stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. (1 minute)

Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent. (5 minutes)

03

Step
0 mins

Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. (2-3 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Stir in the cubed sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, fresh ginger slices, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. (2 minutes)

05

Step
0 mins

Simmer gently until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. (30 minutes)

06

Step
0 mins

Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully purée the soup until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)

07

Step
0 mins

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

08

Step

Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully purée the soup in a regular blender in small batches. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
For a vegan option, substitute the sour cream garnish with coconut cream or a vegan sour cream alternative.
