How to Make Cold Or Hot Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup

  1. Peel and chop 1 pound sweet potatoes and 1 pound carrots into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large pot, combine the chopped sweet potatoes, carrots, 4 cups vegetable broth, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and carrots are very tender.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the soup to the pot and stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness or a pinch of salt for saltiness.
  6. For a chilled soup, let the soup cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. For a warm soup, serve immediately.
