CREAMY VEGAN ROASTED SWEET POTATO SOUP



Creamy Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Soup image

I am constantly overwhelmed by the surprising depth of flavour of this simple little soup, the beauty of this soup - it's simplicity and bare ingredients. You just would not believe something so basic could taste so rich and deep AND creamy! Those macadamias are just pure magic in this soup. It is worth mentioning that I have made this soup in Australia and in the States, and it was quite different, due to the quality and variety of the sweet potatoes. They have a much bolder and richer flavour in Australia. If you are making this in the U.S use yams or orange sweet potatoes. You will also probably only need ½ cup of macadamias, and then taste your soup before you add the second ½ cup. I added a whole cup, and it yielded a soup of a very different personality. It was still sensational. But it resembled more of a nutty taste than that of sweet potato. It is really a matter of preference. Experiment and you will find your perfect blend.

CREAMY VEGAN POTATO SOUP



Creamy Vegan Potato Soup image

I can't take credit for this recipe. I've done a few minor modifications, but it's a seriously simple and delicious concoction by Lyndsay at Vegan Yumminess.

Provided by Sunrabbit

Categories     Potato

Time 23m

Yield 104 ounces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 -10 fresh garlic cloves
1 tablespoon coconut oil
6 cups cubed russet potatoes (2 large baking potatoes)
7 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 cups organic corn kernels (yellow or white, frozen or fresh)
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup raw cashews
4 teaspoons sea salt, to taste
3 cubes vegan bouillon (I use Edward and Sons)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Steps:

  • In a large pot, saute your onion and garlic in the coconut oil for a few minutes, just until onions are softened.
  • Add potatoes to the pot along with the 7 1/2 cups water. Allow to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Once potatoes are tender, or close enough, add corn kernels and (if using frozen) cook for another few minutes until thawed.
  • Heat 1 1/2 cups water with vegan bouillon cubes for 1-2 minutes in the microwave (or in a small saucepan on the stove top if you prefer).
  • In a high speed blender, process 3-4 cups of the soup (make sure to get plenty of potatoes, corn, and onion), water/bouillon mixture, cashews, and nutritional yeast until smooth (if you have a Blendtec, use the Soup button). Pour blended mixture back into the pot and stir until well incorporated.
  • Serve hot with crusty garlic bread!

VEGAN CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP



Vegan Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This recipe was inspired by a sweet potato soup recipe I got from a friend. I modified it to be more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style. It gets its creaminess from cashew cream. You can reduce prep time by using frozen onion and sweet potato. It is good served hot or cold.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or 1 cup other non-dairy milk substitute
1/2 cup raw cashews
1 large onion, diced
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
3 (15 ounce) cans low sodium vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Cashew Cream: Place non-dairy milk and cashews in a high powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • Add onion, sweet potatoes, cumin, parsley flakes and broth in a large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
  • Puree with immersion blender until smooth. Add cashew cream and mix well.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes all have different textures and flavors, so using a mix of them will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will make your soup gluey.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the soup: This will help to bring out their flavor and prevent them from becoming bitter.
  • Use vegetable broth or water instead of milk: This will make the soup vegan and dairy-free.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the soup: Carrots, celery, and peas are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli or cauliflower.
  • Season the soup to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other spices, such as smoked paprika or cumin.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy vegan potato soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
