Instructions
Prep Note: For easy dicing, I use my KitchenAid 13-cup Food Processor with dicing blade. You can puree the soup in your food processor (before cooking) or use an immersion/hand blender or traditional blender.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spread diced sweet potato, onion, carrot, apple and garlic cloves on baking sheet. (I usually line my baking sheet with parchment for easy clean up.)
Drizzle oil over diced veggies and sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast for 30 minutes or until all are soft and beginning to char a little.
Add broth and roasted veggies to pot, simmer for 10 - 15 minutes. Puree mixture using immersion/hand blender or traditional blender. (if using food processor - I puree the warm veggies with room temperature broth, then put in pot to simmer.)
Before serving, stir in coconut milk or cream and warm up.
Notes
Coconut Milk is usually sold in the Asian section of the grocery store. It comes in a can. Make sure it's the unsweetened kind. Give the can a good shake before using. I haven't tried the recipe with the lower fat version - not sure if it will separate when heating.
