  5. - 2 medium-sized yams, peeled and cubed
  6. - 1 large onion, chopped

  8. - 4 cups of coconut milk (full-fat for best flavor)

  14. #### Steps to Make Coconut Yam and Leek Soup
  15. **Step 1: Prepare the Yams**
  16. - Peel and cube the yams into small, even pieces. This ensures they cook evenly.
  17. - Rinse the cubed yams under cold water to remove any excess starch.
  18. **Step 2: Cook the Onion and Leeks**
  19. - In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  20. - Add the sliced leeks and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but remain crisp.
  21. **Step 3: Add Spices and Broth**
  22. - Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to release their flavors.
  23. - Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  24. **Step 4: Simmer with Yams**
  25. - Once boiling, add the cubed yams to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the yams are tender.
  26. **Step 5: Incorporate Coconut Milk**
  27. - Stir in the coconut milk. Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk as it provides a richer texture.
  28. - Let the soup simmer gently for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  29. **Step 6: Serve and Garnish**
  30. - Remove from heat and ladle the soup into bowls.
  31. - Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. This not only adds color but also enhances the flavor.
  32. #### Tips and Variations
  33. - For an extra creamy texture, use a hand blender to puree part of the soup before serving.
  34. - Experiment with adding other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for additional nutrients and flavor.
  35. - Adjust spice levels according to your taste preference by increasing cumin if you prefer a more pronounced flavor.
