Preparation

Step 1

Trim off the tough green end of leek, then slice leek lengthwise and rinse out. Slice leek halves into ¼-inch slices.

Trim carrots, wash and slice diagonally. Peel sweet potato and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Pour coconut oil in the soup pot and sauté the leek until translucent but not brown. Add carrots and sweet potatoes and toss for 5 minutes on medium heat.

Add the garlic, ginger, and stock.

Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.

Cover and cook gently for 30 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
