SIMPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP



Simple Sweet Potato Soup image

This delicious soup has only 6 ingredients. It was given to me by my boyfriend's mom who adapted it from another recipe. It can be as thick or thin as you like, and I like it quite thick. To dress it up when serving, drizzle some cream on top and float a lime twist or slice of lime on top. Delicious hot or cold.

EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP

This is one of my signature dishes. I made this recipe when I was 12 years old. If you want to use potato instead of sweet potato, replace the coconut milk with cow's milk. Add your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor, or just prepare it as stated.

QUICK APPLE AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onion
8 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cups vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups apple cider

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat add the butter and olive oil. Add the celery, onion, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then stir while cooking until the onions and celery are tender. Add the garlic, cinnamon, allspice, and cumin. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and apples stirring to coat them with the contents of the pot. Add the vegetable stock and apple cider and then cover. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
  • In batches, carefully puree the contents of the pot in a blender or use an immersion blender. Taste and season with salt. Serve warm or chilled.
  • When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any that are soft or shriveled.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Homemade broth is always best, but if you're using store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked sweet potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the soup is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include croutons, bacon, cheese, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is packed with nutrients and can be easily customized to your liking. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, sweet potato soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give sweet potato soup a try.
