Vegan Sweet Potato Soup

While I love to enjoy sweet potatoes in a variety of ways (hello, sweet potato fries, baked sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes!), enjoying them in a big pot of soup is one of my favorites. I love making big batches of this soup and then freezing the leftovers.

This soup can be enjoyed on its own or as a side to a big salad. The sweet aromatic flavors of onion and garlic blend perfectly with silky coconut milk and sweet potatoes, making this soup one heck of a treat!

Soup Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Sweet Potatoes – in the grocery store, you may see sweet potatoes labeled as “yams” as well. While these two terms are used interchangeably, they are actually different. True yams are rarely found in grocery stores so most likely if you do pick up some “yams”, they are probably just sweet potatoes
• Full-fat Coconut Milk – this soup uses dairy-free milk to add flavor and richness without needing any heavy cream or dairy.
• Yellow Onion – the onion gives this soup flavor. Quick onion tip – if you’re like me and cry one too many tears while chopping onions, rinse and soak them in water beforehand!
• Garlic – garlic adds flavor to the soup

How to Make Sweet Potato Soup

Step 1: Heat a large pot over medium-low heat. Add oil and garlic. Once the garlic starts to appear transparent, add the onions and cook until they appear transparent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Add the sweet potatoes and increase the heat to medium. Add salt, pepper, coconut milk, and vegetable broth.

Step 3: Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 4: Carefully transfer the mixture to your blender. You may need to do two batches, depending on your blender. Blend until soft and creamy.

Step 5: Transfer soup back to the pot. Adjust seasoning, if needed.
