Instructions
- 1. To make the pesto. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the sage and cook 2 minutes, until fragrant and crisp. Remove from heat.
- 2. In a food processor, pulse together the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil, kale, pistachios, and parmesan until finely chopped. Add the sage and season to taste with salt and crushed red pepper flakes, pulse to combine.
- 3. Make the soup. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and butter, cook another 30 seconds. Pour in the broth. Add the sweet potatoes, cayenne, nutmeg, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- 4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons sage pesto, cook another 5 minutes. If the soup is thick, thin with addition broth.
- 5. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Swirl each bowl of soup with pesto. Break the burrata and spoon some over top the soup. Enjoy!
