Description

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 leek, roughly chopped, white & light green parts only
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into ½ inch chunks
• 4 large beets, peeled & cut into ½ inch chunks
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
• 1 can reduced fat coconut milk
• salt & pepper, to taste
• parsley, to garnish (optional)
• ¼ cup tahini
• 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ⅛ tsp cumin
• ⅛ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp salt
• pinch of ground black pepper

Directions

• In a large pot, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add leek & onions & sauté until leeks become soft & slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic & sauté for another minute. Add sweet potato, beets & vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer until sweet potato & beets are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Prepare the tahini while the soup cooks. Combined all ingredients & whisk until smooth. I used my Magic Bullet for this.
• Once the sweet potato & beets are tender, add ginger & coconut milk. Stir to combine & add salt & pepper to your liking (I added about ½ tsp of each). Remove from heat & puree soup using an immersion blender.
• Serve soup hot, drizzled with tahini & garnished with parsley. I transferred my tahini into a sandwich bag, cut off the corner & piped it on top of my soup. I found this was the easiest way to create the perfect drizzle.
