    Sweet potato soup is one of my favourite soups to serve during the cool fall and winter months. This super silky smooth and creamy vegan soup is packed with sweet potatoes, some onions, garlic, carrots and seasonings. Make it in one pot in about 30 minutes. It's the easiest and most satisfying fall weeknight meal.

    I like making this sweet potato soup as a meal on it's own, served with some green onion dinner rolls, small batch sourdough bread, or other crusty bread for dipping. Or, serve it as part of a complete meal with a crispy dutch oven whole roast chicken, and easy roasted cauliflower and 10-minute nutty green beans on the side.

    Ingredients in Sweet Potato Soup

    • olive oil
    • onion
    • garlic

    • Italiano seasoning
    • ground cumin
    • turmeric

    How to Make the Best Sweet Potato Soup

    1. Sauté onions in a medium cooking pot over medium high heat, until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    2. Add carrots and sauté for 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently for even cooking.
    3. Next, add sweet potato and stir to combine, about 1 minute.
    4. Add vegetable broth and seasonings (Italiano seasoning, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper), and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender.
    5. Remove from heat and puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender, or transfer the soup to a heavy duty blender and puree in a couple batches. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to thin it out.
    6. Serve in bowls topped with roasted peanuts, sliced green onions and white sesame seeds.

      Pretty good! Love the consistency. Definitely had to add some cream or half n half because the flavor was a little weird without. adding some cream made it super delicious.
