Ingredients

Time: 45 minutes Serves: 2-3

Directions

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 1 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice
  • A small pinch of Thai chili pepper flakes

  2. Then, add the sweet potato and carrot. Cook for 5-7 more minutes. Add black pepper and additional spicy seasonings if desired.
  3. Add the vegetable broth (or broth/coconut milk combo) and bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the sweet potato has softened.
  5. Turn off the heat and use your immersion blender (or transfer batches of soup to a food processor) and blend your soup until smooth and creamy.
