Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and finely chop the onion and garlic. This preparation ensures even cooking and full flavor development.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes, forming the flavorful base of the soup.
  3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the cumin, cinnamon, coriander, and ginger. Stir constantly for about a minute to toast the spices and awaken their aromas without burning.
  4. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Heat through if necessary, then ladle into bowls and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground spices whenever possible for more intense flavor.
  • Roasting sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup enhances their natural sweetness and depth.
  • Simmering the soup allows the spices and sweetness to meld well for a richer taste.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more broth for a thinner consistency or simmering longer for a thicker soup.
  • Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters and ensure safety.
