Description

A creamy, comforting sweet potato soup with a touch of warm spices, perfect for a cozy and nourishing meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in sweet potatoes, cinnamon, and cumin; cook for 2-3 minutes to coat the sweet potatoes in spices.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until sweet potatoes are very tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
  5. Stir in coconut milk or cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use roasted sweet potatoes for a deeper flavor.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more broth if needed after blending.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
