Ingredients

  • 1 cup leeks, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 cups sweet potato, sliced evenly
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (the milk substitute kind, not the canned kind)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup ginger, finely minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Place the leeks and sweet potatoes on separate baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil and roast until soft and browned, about 20 minutes for the leeks and 25-30 minutes for the sweet potato. Remove from oven, and optionally set aside some sweet potatoes and leeks for garnishing the soup later. 
  • Saute the ginger in the coconut oil.
  • In a blender, put the ginger, the roasted leeks and 1 cup of coconut milk and blend until smooth. Add the remaining milk and the sweet potato and blend until smooth. Add more milk as desired.
  • Serve garnished with sweet potato and crispy fried leeks.
