- ¼cupunsalted macadamias

- 2tbspfresh cilantro,finely chopped, to serve

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Line a large baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
-
Toss the onions and sweet potatoes in oil and salt and spread out on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast for about 50 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked but not burnt, as they will be cooked further.
-
Transfer the vegetables to a large saucepan and add the vegetable broth, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-high, and simmer, partially covered, for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
-
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the macadamias. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes to soften the nuts and cool the soup slightly.
-
Pour the soup into the blender in batches and puree on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. (For conventional blenders, remove the small center lid cap and cover the opening with a kitchen towel so steam can escape while blending.)
-
Return the soup to the saucepan, season to taste, and warm it over low heat.
-
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and add a splash of the lime juice, top with cilantro and macadamias if using.
