Recipe: Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup

February 7, 2015 by Kelly

Coconut Curry Soup | Kelly Maia Nutrition

The winter months are long and cold. Laziness sets into your bones. You go to work, it’s dark. You come home from work, it’s dark. Dinner? What to make? Who knows. Who cares. You just want to get under the blankets and curl up for a night in front of the TV or a good book. You know you need to eat something, but what?

 As I’ve said before, my soup obsession is real. When you’re too lazy to grocery shop, soup is the best (and easiest) thing to reheat from frozen.

The other day, I was looking for a coconut curry soup recipe, but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted. I decided to wing it and this wonderful concoction came to be!

I wasn’t planning to post this, so my measurements are approximations. 
Modify as you wish.

Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients:

1 tbsp of grated ginger
1 tbsp of coconut oil
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1.5 – 2 tbsp of curry powder
1-2 large carrots
2 sweet potatoes
4 tomatoes, small-medium sized* (I do this instead of diced tomatoes in a can, feel free to use diced)
2 cups of cooked chickpeas
1L of vegetable broth
1 can of coconut milk (I used full-fat)
2 cups cooked quinoa

Directions:

*If you have decided to make your own diced tomatoes, prepare them now according to these steps: cut X’s in the bottom of each, submerge into boiling water, and wait until the skin starts lifting at the “X”. Remove the tomatoes from the pot and peel back the skin – discard the skin. Caution: I burn myself on this step EVERY time. Chop up the rest of the tomatoes, keeping the juices.

Peel and chop the carrots and the sweet potatoes.  Add to large soup pot and set to medium heat: coconut oil, ginger and garlic. Fry for a minute.

Add coconut milk, vegetable broth and curry powder. Bring to a boil.

Add carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and chickpeas. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.

Blend soup, and add quinoa to the blended mixture, stir and serve.

Voila! One of my favourite soup combinations so far. Bon appetit!

  • STOP THE HUSTLE🙏🏻 PUH-LEASE.

We all have a tendency to do it. Rush rush rush around. Then we get caught up in everything we THINK we need to be doing.

The SHOULDS creep in. I should be working on the business. I should be devoting more time to friends. I should be spending more time with my partner. I should be cleaning the house.

The shoulds are dangerous.

And when we fall into the trap of hustle-all-the-time, those shoulds get really really loud.

I slip into it every once in a while myself.

But then I remind myself: no one is putting these expectations on me except ME.

Too much stress, too much hustle, too many shoulds has led me to burnout not once but TWICE.

TWO FREAKING TIMES.

So today I ask you to slow your roll. Stop the hustle. Ignore the shoulds. Do what is right for you.

Self care. Slow living. Taking breaks. These are all such YIN responses to such a YANG life.

And we could all use a little bit more yin. Relaxation. Slowness. Softness. Self love.

  • REAL LIFE:
•Eating pasta because it tastes good.
•Adding veggies to each meal because it makes a big difference in how I feel.
•Wearing jeans with rips because I like it ... though I know many adults who would disagree. I don’t care, 😂 I do what I want.
•Sitting on the couch watching Netflix for a few hours (ok like 5) because my body needs a time out.
•Crushing chocolate because I really like it.

We all make our own choices based on what serves us best. Sometimes we make the healthy choice that we know will feel good inside. Sometimes we make the healthy choice that nourishes our soul and not our brain. The choices are both healthy, just from different perspectives.

Hours of Netflix saved my life when I was totally burnt out. I couldn’t barely move, exercise, pay attention to anything for long... Netflix was the only thing that I could do that refilled my cup.

Just like this gluten free pasta. It might not win the “most healthy” award on Instagram because it’s not made of kale, but sometimes we just need a quick meal that will TASTE GOOD. I never want my clients to sacrifice taste for health. I never sacrifice it myself.

Enjoy your life. There are lots of things to worry about, and while health is important, green juice and exercise isn’t everything.

Find a balance. Stress less. Enjoy more.

  • Take the road less traveled.
Try new things.
Say goodbye to fear, or at least make nice with it.
Embrace the unknown.
Say yes to challenges.
Release control.

How much better would life be if we stopped RESISTING and started FLOWING?

Wellness, health, happiness - it all becomes compromised when we create unrealistic expectations and begin to C O N T R O L everything.

I am always working on releasing control.
I am always a work in progress.
Health coaches, nutritionists, wellness coaches - we are all works in progress.

But we are here to help you take the road less traveled.
Because we’ve been there.
And we will guide you through your own journey.
If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something new.
I promise that I am here for you.

  • Oh hey there 😍cinnamon raisin bagel, I didn’t see ya there under those hemp seeds and sunflower seed butter🤷🏻‍♀️ oh also I threw on some cacao nibs because chocolate. Always chocolate.

I found these delicious bagels at my local @naturalfoodpantry and picked them up on a whim. They’re oat-base, gluten-free and free-from tons of the additives and preservatives in usual breads. They’re DELISH.

But complex carbs alone aren’t enough to feel full so I added some serious nut butter and hemp seeds for extra protein and healthy fats. That should do the trick for a bit!

Happy Sunday ❤️❤️ what are you whipping up in the kitchen today?
