Ingredients

- Sauté the onion and garlic using some boiling water; place them in a pot, set on medium heat. The water should cover the bottom of the pot. Let the onion and garlic soften in the pot.
- Rinse, peel, and dice the carrots and sweet potatoes.
- Sauté the onion and garlic until starting to soften; check with a fork. Put the diced carrots and sweet potatoes in the pot. Pour some more boiling water into the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about 10'. If necessary, add some more water to keep the bottom of the pot covered.
- When the diced carrots and sweet potatoes are softened, add the ginger and pour all the boiling water left into the pot. Cover the pot with the lid and cook for about 10'.
- Season the soup to taste with salt, ground black pepper, turmeric and curry powder. Stir the soup well, cover the pot with the lid and cook for 5'.
- Pour the olive oil, and immediately remove from heat.
- Purée the soup. This soup made with starchy vegetables is rich and creamy in texture without adding heavy cream. Garnish each serving with fresh parsley.
Useful Information
When it comes to puréeing a soup, the main choices are to use a blender or a food processor or an immersion blender. If your food processor or your blender does not have heat-resistant glass bowl, let the soup cool to room temperature and then purée it.
You do not have to purée the soup in order to serve it, as my photos will testify.
Sweet potato and carrot soup can be served warm or at room temperature.
