Creamy Sweet Potato Soup Recipe - Delicious and Healthy

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

    Ensure all vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.

    Do not let the garlic brown to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add Sweet Potatoes

    Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

    Cook for about 5 minutes to enhance the sweet potato flavor.
  4. Add Broth and Spices

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the ground cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

    Simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Blend the Soup

    Once the sweet potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.

    For a creamier texture, blend in batches if using a traditional blender.
  6. Stir in Coconut Milk

    Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat through.

    Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
