Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient note
Dried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/8 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Ingredient note
Dried cayenne pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid cayenne pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 medium)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp fresh lime juice

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (optional)

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
