Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegan margarine 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 cup chopped carrot 1/4 cup chopped celery 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 2 pears, peeled and diced 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon paprika 5 cups vegetable broth 1/3 cup coconut milk 2 teaspoons maple syrup, or to taste 2 teaspoons lime juice, or to taste salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
In a pot, heat margarine on medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and sauté for 1 minute. Add sweet potatoes, pears and thyme and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add paprika and veggie broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potato is soft.
Wait for soup to cool down a bit before you puree it, otherwise it will explode in the blender because of the heat.
Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. Add coconut milk, maple syrup and lime juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. If soup is too thick add a little extra broth.
Season with salt and pepper, adding more syrup or lime juice as needed. Drizzle with maple syrup if preferred. Can be made up to 2 days ahead of time.
