Sweet potato and pear soup

Oh She Glows has a wonderful recipe for this. I didn't make it for a holiday but just trying to copy the one I had at the Wine, Pear & Cheese Jubilee at the Willamette Valley Vineyards in two occasions.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped carrot
  • 1 medium-sized sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 2 pears, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice, or to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:

Heat vegan butter in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. Add onion and carrot. Sauté for 1 minute. Add sweet potato and pears. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Add paprika and veggie broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potato is soft.

Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pot. Add coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. If soup is too thick add a little extra broth.

Season with pepper, adding more lime juice as needed. 

Drizzle with diagonal chopped green onions or sliced almonds.
