Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 3/4 cups cubed peeled sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3 1/2 cups water
3 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
3 cups chopped carrots (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Move onion mixture to side of pan; add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to open space in pan. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 1 minute or until butter begins to brown. Add sweet potatoes, 3 1/2 cups water, broth, and carrot; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Place half of soup mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining soup mixture. Stir in half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each of 8 bowls; top each serving with about 2 teaspoons sour cream and 3/4 teaspoon parsley.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots and sweet potatoes that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this soup and it turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of carrots or sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this soup. The coconut milk mellowed out the flavors of the vegetables and made it really creamy.

I tried this soup with a few modifications: I used almond milk instead of coconut milk, and added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick. It turned out great!

I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful this soup was! The carrots and sweet potatoes added a natural sweetness, and the coconut milk gave it a creamy, velvety texture. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup has become a family favorite! I love that it's packed with vegetables, and the coconut milk gives it a creamy, rich flavor. I've also tried adding a bit of ginger and lemongrass, which gives it a Thai-inspired twist.
