Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the curry paste, curry powder and sugar and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk and farro and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the sweet potato. You can do this any way you'd like, but personally, I like microwaving the sweet potato because it's fastest! Then, add the sweet potato and almond milk to a blender and blend until smooth. NOTE: make sure to remove the skin before adding the sweet potato to your blender.
  • Remove lid from the skillet then pour in the blended sweet potato. Last, stir in the spinach and add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*If you don't have (or don't like) farro, you can use rice instead
*Feel free to use any kind of dairy free milk in place of almond milk
