A comforting and creamy soup made with sweet potatoes and spices that is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk, coconut milk, or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp ground cumin or smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in cumin or smoked paprika and cook for 30 seconds to release aroma.
  3. Add chopped sweet potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or transfer in batches to a blender carefully venting the lid.
  5. Return soup to low heat. Stir in milk or coconut milk and adjust seasoning. Add a splash of vinegar or lemon if it needs brightness.
  6. Serve hot with pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of oil, or a spoonful of yogurt.

Notes

This soup freezes well and can be made dairy-free by using coconut milk.
