Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup light coconut milk

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional toppings: chopped green onions, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions
 

Prep the ingredients: Begin your soup by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set these aromatic ingredients aside.

    Sauté for flavor: In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the oil until shimmering, then add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent, stirring occasionally. Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

      Combine in the crockpot: Carefully transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture into your crockpot. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

        Cook slowly: Place the lid on your crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The soup is ready when the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

          Blend for creaminess: Once cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the crockpot until it is smooth and creamy. For an ultra-silky texture, you may transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender, being careful not to overfill.

            Add coconut milk: After blending, stir in the light coconut milk until fully incorporated and the soup is a rich, velvety consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy sweet potato soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with your choice of garnishes, such as freshly chopped green onions for a pop of color, a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess, or toasted pumpkin seeds for a delightful crunch.
