Ingredients:

4 Cups chopped Sweet Potato

1 Medium Shallot thinly sliced

1 Tbsp minced garlic

Pink Himalayan Salt TT

1 ½ Tbsp curry powder

1 14oz can coconut milk

3 cups vegetable broth

2 Tbsp maple syrup

1-2 tsp chili garlic paste

Garnish:

Sour Cream

Pumpkin Seeds

Piping bag or zip lock

Directions:

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Once hot, add oil, shallots, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add Sweet potato and season with a pinch each salt and pepper and curry powder.
  4. Stir to coat. Then cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, maple syrup, and chili garlic paste.
  6. Bring to a low boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until butternut squash is fork tender.
  7. Use a blender, and purée on high until creamy and smooth. If using a blender, return soup back to pot.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more curry powder, salt, or sweetener as needed. Continue cooking for a few more minutes over medium heat.
  9. In regard to garnishing: Fill a piping bag with sour cream and pipe it in concentric circles on the surface of a bowl of sweet potato. Drag a toothpick or knife through the sour cream from the center outward to make a spider web pattern. Serve with pumpkin seeds for sprinkling.
  10. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Best when fresh.

Talking Points:

    1. The Sweet potato can be purchased at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market.
    2. The Blue Mountain Curry can only be found at Compare foods. Compare foods is an international food store with several locations in the Charlotte region.
    3. This soup can be stored in the freezer up to one month.
    4. Vegan Sour cream can be found at your local Harris teeter.
    5. This soup can be served chilled or hot.
    6. This soup is so versatile, even with it being vegan, you could always get the soup boiling again and add some shrimp.
    7. This soup can be served as a sauce over rice, to create a stew kind of feel.
