One of my favorite healthy comfort foods is this sweet potato soup dish. It is a thick, creamy dish made with vegetables, coconut milk, and spices.

The first week of fall was spent eating bowl after bowl of this sweet potato soup with Jack. Whatever it is, creamy orange soup just seems like the ideal dish on a chilly day.

I’m not sure why. The weather is brightened by its vivid hue, and the velvety soup warms you from the inside out.

Normally, at the beginning of fall, I make my butternut squash soup or pumpkin soup repeatedly, but right now, I’m still unable to get past this sweet potato soup.

It is thick, sweet, and smokey, and has a tart apple cider vinegar finish. A single bowl feels substantial because of the texture, which is deliciously creamy and smooth.

In the coming weeks, you should make this sweet potato soup if you find yourself yearning for warm, comforting meals. It’s straightforward, nourishing, and delightfully surprising. Although optional, serving with crusty bread is highly advised.

Ingredients for a sweet potato soup recipe

I also adore this recipe for sweet potato soup. It simply requires a little number of components to prepare it:

• Yes, of course, sweet potatoes! They contribute to the soup’s rich texture, bright color, and sweet flavor.
• Apple: The sweetness of the sweet potatoes is enhanced by the apple.
• For a savory depth of flavor, include onion and garlic.
• Ginger and coriander give the soup a warm, aromatic flavor.
• Smoked paprika: This spice gives the soup a wonderful smoky flavor.
• Coconut milk and extra-virgin olive oil add richness.
• Use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
• For tang, use apple cider vinegar.
• And sea salt—to bring out the tastes in everything!

Make This Sweet Potato Soup: Recipe

Making this sweet potato soup is soup-er (I had to!) easy. This is how it works:

Sauté the vegetables first. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes, or until it softens, in a big saucepan or Dutch oven. After that, add the apple and sweet potatoes and simmer for a further 8 to 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

Stir in the seasonings after that. Stir in the smoked paprika, coriander, ginger, and garlic until they are aromatic. After that, incorporate the coconut milk, broth, and apple cider vinegar.

For garnish, I prefer to save aside 1/4 cup of my coconut milk. On the orange soup, it makes such a gorgeous white swirl!

Finally, simmer. When the sweet potatoes are cooked through, bring the soup to a boil, cover it, and simmer for a short while.

Pasteurize the soup last! Before adding the soup to a powerful blender and pureeing it until smooth, let it cool slightly.

(Alternatively, you could complete this step using an immersion blender.) Add a bit more broth to the soup if it is too thick. When it has the consistency you want, season it to taste, then serve.

I’m done now!

Suggestions for Serving Sweet Potato Soup

Place the creamy sweet potato soup into bowls when you’re ready to dine. Add a swirl of coconut cream, some fresh cilantro, Aleppo pepper, or red pepper flakes, and some crunchy pepitas to the dish as a garnish.

The soup is delicious and served with a salad or roasted veggies on the side, but I frequently eat it as a meal by itself (along with a thick slice of crusty bread, of course!). Try serving it with one of the following dishes:

• Kale Salad with Ginger-Carrot Dressing
• Balsamic-glazed pears and walnut salad
• vegetable roasting
• Salad with shaved Brussels sprouts
• Beets Roasted with Citrus

Enjoy!
