Bread is always a wonderful compliment to any soup, try A Tuscan Herb Artisan Bread.
Or sprinkle these Easy Homemade Croutons on top of the soup.
One of my favorites sides to serve along with this soup, is the Crispy Oven Dill Pickles.
Ingredients used in this soup
- Oil – I have used avocado or olive oil to saute the vegetables for this soup.
- Sweet Potatoes – Can’t find sweet potatoes? Yams will work just as well.
- Onion – I like to use a sweet onion in my soup.
- Peppers – I used a sweet bell pepper in my soup.
- Carrots – Fresh carrots.
- Garlic – I used minced garlic, but fresh garlic can used.
- Ginger – I used a ground ginger but fresh grated ginger can used.
- Broth/Water – I used my favorite vegetable broth. I also used both broth and water to keep the sodium down in my soup.
- Plant Based Milk – I used a plain unsweetened almond milk. You can use any plant based milk of your choice.
- Seasonings – Smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
How to make the Vegan Sweet Potato Soup
Clean and dice the peppers, carrots, onion, and sweet potatoes.
In a medium large stock pot add the oil, the diced peppers, carrots, onion, sweet potatoes, and the minced garlic.
Saute the vegetables on a medium high heat, until everything has slightly browned and softened.
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the water, broth, and the milk.
Stir to combine.
Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
Remove from the heat and puree with a immersion blender until creamy.
Serve with a slice of toast, crackers, croutons, a dollop of vegan sour cream, and Enjoy.
