Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon coriander
Pinch of cayenne
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound sweet potatoes
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Directions
Heat butter in a soup pot. Add onion and sauté until soft. Add spices and salt. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. Add sweet potatoes and broth to onions. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are soft, about 20-30 minutes. Blend soup in small batches in a blender until smooth. Transfer blended soup to soup pot or serving bowl. Add more liquid if you desire a thinner consistency. Taste and adjust salt. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
