CREAMY VEGAN ROASTED SWEET POTATO SOUP



Creamy Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Soup image

I am constantly overwhelmed by the surprising depth of flavour of this simple little soup, the beauty of this soup - it's simplicity and bare ingredients. You just would not believe something so basic could taste so rich and deep AND creamy! Those macadamias are just pure magic in this soup. It is worth mentioning that I have made this soup in Australia and in the States, and it was quite different, due to the quality and variety of the sweet potatoes. They have a much bolder and richer flavour in Australia. If you are making this in the U.S use yams or orange sweet potatoes. You will also probably only need ½ cup of macadamias, and then taste your soup before you add the second ½ cup. I added a whole cup, and it yielded a soup of a very different personality. It was still sensational. But it resembled more of a nutty taste than that of sweet potato. It is really a matter of preference. Experiment and you will find your perfect blend.

CREAMY SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI SOUP



Creamy Sweet Potato Zucchini Soup image

This delicious soup is an easy way to disguise zucchini from picky eaters. It's nearly impossible to distinguish the zucchini from the sweet potato, and it gives the soup a beautiful, creamy texture. I discovered this soup in an attempt to use up zucchinis from my garden and sneak it into the soup without my zucchini-hating husband figuring out the deception. It worked! He loves the soup.

VEGAN CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP



Vegan Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This recipe was inspired by a sweet potato soup recipe I got from a friend. I modified it to be more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style. It gets its creaminess from cashew cream. You can reduce prep time by using frozen onion and sweet potato. It is good served hot or cold.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).

1 tablespoon parsley flakes
3 (15 ounce) cans low sodium vegetable broth

CREAMY THAI SWEET POTATO SOUP



CREAMY THAI SWEET POTATO SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Shallots thinly sliced
1 40 oz can sweet potatoes
1 cup coconut milk
5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 and half Tbs teriyaki sauce
half tsp hot sauce (tobacco)
juice of 1 lime
fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot. Add shallots and cook 3 - 4 minutes until shiny. Add sweet potatoes, coconut milk and stock and simmer. Puree mixture in pot until smooth. Mix in teriyaki, hot sauce and lime juice. Add salt and simmer for 5 minutes

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the creamiest soup, use starchy sweet potatoes, such as Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes.
  • Roast the potatoes: Roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor and adds a touch of smokiness.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a flavorful one. You can use chicken, vegetable, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy, so cook them just until they are tender.
  • Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or onion powder.
  • Garnish with your favorites: Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or some toasted nuts.
