Instructions

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the grated sweet potatoes; return to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for approximately 20 minutes until sweet potatoes are falling apart.
Transfer sweet potatoes and their liquid, as well as (drained) white beans, garam masala and optional salt to a high speed blender (one that can puree hot foods) and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender, in the pan, to puree until smooth).
Add more water, as needed, to reach desired consistency.
Return soup to saucepan and rewarm over low heat.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 6 months.

White Beans Notes: Use any white beans you like, such as navy bean, cannellini beans, or Great Northern Beans. If using canned beans, rinse and drain the beans. Do not worry if the total amount of beans in 1 can is slightly shy of 1.5 cups.

Garam Masala Alterantives: The soup can be flavored in multiple ways. Instead of garam masala., consider one of these alternatives: curry powder, turmeric, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground ginger, Chinese five spice, Italian herbs, rosemary, thyme (1/2 to 1 teaspoon), or herbes de Provence.

Other Additions/ Variations:

Replace water with vegetable broth
Reduce water by 1 cup and add 1 cup coconut cream, or other non-dairy cream; after returning blended soup to the saucepan.
Drizzle the finished soup with coconut cream or other nondairy cream, sprinkle with fresh herbs, squeeze with wedges of lime or lemon, and/or add a swirl of hot sauce.
