I always double this recipe whenever I prepare it, since we love leftovers. This is the easiest soup I've ever made. Even young children can really dig in, since this thick nutritious mixture clings to spoons. We prefer it warm, but it can also be served chilled. -Gayle Becker, Mount Clemens, Michigan

Time 45m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large celery ribs
1 small onion
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 medium sweet potatoes
3 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Chop celery and onion.
  • In a Dutch oven or soup pot, saute celery and onion until tender.
  • Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes.
  • Add potatoes and remaining ingredients to pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Discard bay leaf.
  • Process soup with an immersion blender and serve. If you don't have an immersion blender you will have to cool the soup, process it in a food processor in batches and return it to the pot to heat through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, well-colored skin. Avoid any potatoes that have bruises, cuts, or blemishes.
  • Don't peel the sweet potatoes: Leaving the skin on adds color, texture, and nutrients to the soup. Simply scrub the potatoes well before cooking.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth or vegetable broth will work well in this soup. For a richer flavor, use half broth and half coconut milk.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeño pepper. You can also add some curry powder or garam masala for a warm, exotic flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Sweet potatoes cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Just before serving, garnish the soup with fresh cilantro, parsley, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Harvest Sweet Potato Soup is a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a fall or winter meal. With its vibrant orange color, sweet flavor, and creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give Harvest Sweet Potato Soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
