2 tablespoons chopped mint, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the sherry (if using) and let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or carefully transfer it in batches to a blender).
- In a small bowl, combine the diced apple, white-wine vinegar, honey, and curry powder. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Serve the soup in bowls, topped with the curried apples, a dollop of plain yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped mint.
