Sweet Potato Soup is a velvety, nourishing soup made with roasted or simmered sweet potatoes, aromatic spices, and a touch of cream or coconut milk. It’s naturally sweet, comforting, and perfect for cozy evenings or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or a swirl of cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic, ginger, cumin, and cinnamon, and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  3. Add sweet potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are very tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
  5. Return to pot and stir in coconut milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and reheat gently.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a swirl of cream.

Notes

  • Roast sweet potatoes beforehand for deeper flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • Soup stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days and freezes beautifully.
