Ingredients
2 large Sweet Potatoes (Diced)
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
2 Red Bell Peppers (Quartered)
1 Red Onion (Quartered)
4 Cloves of Garlic (Skin On)
4 Cups Vegetable Broth
6 Dried Apricots (Diced)
1 Tsp Paprika
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2-3 Green Chili’s
Coconut Milk
Parsley (Garnish)
Salt & Pepper (To Taste)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice the sweet potato into 1” chunks, quarter 1 and 1/2 red bell pepper and the red onion. Place on baking sheet with garlic and drizzle with olive oil and salt & pepper (to taste).
- Place the tray in the oven and roast for 45 minutes to an hour. Until the red pepper has developed a nice char on its skin and the sweet potatoes are very soft. Remove from oven once done and remove garlic from its skin.
- Place the tray of roasted vegetables in a blender with 2 tbsp Crofter’s Organic Premium Apricot Fruit Spread and 1 cup pumpkin puree and puree until smooth with the vegetable stock. Add in the paprika and continue to puree until smooth.
- Once the soup is smooth, remove it from the blender and transfer it into a large sauce pot over low-medium heat. Allow the soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes stirring regularly to allow the flavors to develop. Careful not to heat the soup over to high of heat to avoid burning the bottom.
- While the soup is simmering, make the chili apricot salsa. quickly rinse out the blender or food processor and add in 2-3 green chilis (remove seeds depending on how hot/spicy you like things), 1/2 red bell pepper, 6 dried apricots and 2 tbsp Crofter’s Organic Premium Apricot Fruit Spread. Pulse until it begins to look like salsa consistency and has small chunks. Careful not to over pulse.
- To serve, fill up a bowl with the Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Soup, top with a spoonful of the Apricot Chili Salsa and a drizzle of coconut milk and parsley. Enjoy!
