I love a good sweet potato soup. It’s one of those rare dishes that feels like a warm hug but is actually packed with nutrients. The natural sweetness of the potatoes pairs so well with savory or spicy notes.
If you are looking for a "simple but great" baseline recipe, here is a foolproof way to make it:
The "Simple but Great" MethodIngredientPurpose2 large Sweet PotatoesPeeled and cubed for the base.1 Onion & 2 Garlic clovesThe essential aromatic foundation.4 cups Vegetable BrothAdjust for your preferred thickness.1 tsp Ginger (fresh or ground)Adds a subtle, warming kick.1/2 cup Coconut MilkFor that silky, velvety finish.
Three Ways to Level It Up
If you want to add a little "extra" without adding much work, try one of these:
The Roasted Route: Roast the sweet potato cubes in the oven with a bit of olive oil and salt until caramelized before blending. It adds a deep, smoky richness.
The Thai Twist: Stir in a tablespoon of Red Curry Paste while sautéing the onions. It transforms the soup into something exotic and vibrant.
The Texture Play: Don't blend it perfectly smooth—leave a few small chunks, and top with toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or crispy bacon bits for crunch.
Quick Tip
If the soup feels a bit too "heavy" or sweet once it's blended, add a squeeze of lime juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. The acidity cuts right through the sugar and brightens the whole bowl.
