Ingredients

  • Soup:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1 large sweet potato (1 lb.), peeled and chopped (2½ cups)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (1½ cups)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 4 cups lower-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • Dukkah:
  • 0.5 cup roasted shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soup: Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add sweet potato, onion, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until sweet potato is tender when pierced with a fork, 16 to 18 minutes. Working in batches, transfer mixture into a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape), secure lid on blender, and place a clean towel over opening in lid to prevent splatters. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds, slowly adding water to thin to desired consistency.

    Prepare the Dukkah: Stir together pistachios, sesame seeds, oregano, thyme, zest, and salt in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Serve soup topped with dukkah and a drizzle of olive oil.
