Found this recipe for the Warming Autumn Sweet Potato-Broccoli Soup on http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-11248/warming-autumn-sweet-potato-broccoli-soup.html and had to try it out! It’s so delicious and perfect for a cold rainy day like today 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped
• 5 cups chicken/vegetable stock
• 1 head broccoli, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, for serving
• olive oil, for serving

Method

1. Melt the coconut oil in a large pot on medium heat, then add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the sweet potato and stock and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is almost tender, about 20 minutes.

3. Add the broccoli, and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the soup, lemon juice, turmeric and cinnamon to a high-speed blender and process on high until silky smooth. If the soup is too thick, add the coconut milk to thin it out.

5. Return the soup to the heat and warm gently. Add sea salt and black pepper, to taste. Adjust seasonings if need be.

6. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and toasted pine nuts as a garnish.

Perfect with some oat bread at the side as well.

Enjoy 🙂
