Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small chunks for even cooking.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Incorporate Gochujang: Stir in the gochujang, starting with 1 tablespoon. Taste and adjust the heat level according to your preferences.
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
Add Coconut Milk: Once blended, return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender) and add the coconut milk. Stir well to combine and let it warm for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
