Instead of the sweet, sticky sweet potato marshmallow casserole that is commonly served on Thanksgiving, I decided to make a nice savory soup out of my sweet potatoes instead. The coconut milk gave it just the right hint of sweetness and creaminess.

Ingredients

• 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes
• 1 leek
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp garam masala spice mix
• 1/2 Tbs olive oil
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• water
• cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Heat oil, curry powder, and garam masala in a sauce pan.
2. Add leeks and cook until soft.
3. Add sweet potato cubes and then cover with water.
4. Bring to boil and then simmer until soft (approx. 30 mins).
5. Add coconut milk and remove from heat.
6. Blend until smooth (I used an immersion blender).
7. Serve and garnish with coconut milk and cilantro.
