Potato Coconut Curry Soup
Potato Coconut Curry Soup – This soup is luxuriously creamy.
Comes together in about 35-40 minutes, and requires just 1 pot ( + 1 bowl and baking sheet is making chickpeas).
Is naturally sweet from the sweet potatoes and coconut milk.
Spicy from the garlic and cayenne pepper.
And surprisingly filling, thanks to the addition of crunchy, spicy baked chickpeas.
The flavor also comes in waves, first savory, then sweet, then spicy.
If you prefer it less spicy, simply add less cayenne, or omit it entirely.
