Ingredients
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed1 small onion, chopped1 zucchini, chopped3 bunch of spinach/kale (optional)1" piece of fresh ginger, grated and juiced (optional)1-2 tsp coriander & cumin, or your favorite curry powder1/2 tsp toasted sesame oilpinch sea salt, to taste1/2 cup vegetable broth (optional)
Directions
1. Put the sweet potato and onion in a pot with about a cup of water, a sprinkle of salt, and bring to a low boil with the lid on. Let them cook for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is pretty soft. Add the zucchini to the pot, stir it in, and leave it for another 5 minutes - or longer if you want the zucchini to be really soft.
2. Mash (or puree in food processor) the vegetables, along with the spinach if you want to include it and maximize the nutrients in this soup. Add water as you need to (including the cooking water from the sweet potatoes) to get the consistency you want for your soup. You can use a hand blender, but a food processor or full blender is better if you're using the kale.
3. Season the soup with Indian spices like cumin and coriander or your favorite mix, and a pinch of salt. Fresh ginger adds lots of flavor and nutrients. Enjoy your vegan sweet potato soup topped with some pumpkin seeds.
