Sweet Potato Ginger Soup

 Sweet Potato and Ginger Soup

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 medium red onion, diced

1 1/2 pound of sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger *I learned something awesome recently. If you throw your fresh ginger in the freezer it makes it SO much easier to peel and grate. Try it out!

5 cups water

2 Tablespoons chopped scallions

Melt coconut oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and saute for about 10 minutes until golden and soft. Add the sweet potato to the saucepan and saute for 3 more minutes.

Add cumin, salt, ginger and water.

Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes.

Puree the soup until smooth with an immersion blender or by putting it into a blender in batches.

Sprinkle chopped scallions on top and serve.

Enjoy!
