  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 liters vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high and add a knob of coconut oil. Add onions and saute for 5 to 7 minutes or until soft. Add in sweet potatoes, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and a dash of salt along with vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft.
  2. Once the potatoes are soft, remove from heat and use an immersion blender until completely pureed. Add soy sauce, maple syrup, peanut butter, chili sauce, and lime juice and puree again. Return to burner and let simmer until thick and at desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper (and more lime juice, if needed).
