• Add the oil to your pot, and warm over medium heat. Add your onions and garlic, being careful not to burn the garlic.
• Add sweet potatoes, thyme, and coconut milk. Add enough vegetable broth to just cover the sweet potatoes. Turn up the heat and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for approximately 20 minutes. When you are able to easily pierce the sweet potato, it is done. Remove the thyme sprigs.
• Transfer the contents of the pot into a blender. Add smoked paprika and lime juice. Blend until smooth, adding broth as needed to get your de- sired consistency.
• Add salt to taste.
• Enjoy!
