A creamy and comforting sweet potato soup with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, perfect for chilly evenings or using up leftovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, toasted pumpkin seeds, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  2. Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for another 5 minutes until the veggies start to soften.
  3. Add the diced sweet potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Make sure the vegetables are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it’s completely smooth. If using a countertop blender, let the soup cool for 10 minutes before blending in batches.
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Heat the soup gently over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more broth or water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with your favorite garnishes like green onions or pumpkin seeds, and serve warm!
