- Nutrient-packed: Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber, and broccoli is a powerhouse of vitamins and antioxidants.

Tips for the Best Vegan Coconut Soup:
- Use full-fat coconut milk: This is key to achieving a creamy texture. Lite coconut milk will result in a thinner soup.
- Don’t overcook the broccoli: You want it to be bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
- Adjust the seasoning: Taste as you go and add more salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
- Garnish generously: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness and flavor.
