How to Make Creamy Vegan Sweet Potato Soup

For the full recipe, scroll down to view the recipe card below.

Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice onion, cube sweet potato, and mince garlic.

Then, add oil and diced onion to a large pot. Sauté onions for 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cubed sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes. Add vegetable broth, light coconut milk, and spices to the pot. Stir together.

Bring ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook, partially covered, for 20 minutes.

After, remove pot from the stove. Use a handheld immersion blender to blend the ingredients into a creamy soup. Alternatively, add ingredients to a traditional blender and blend on high until smooth. This step should require a few minutes; be sure to blend until a truly creamy sweet potato soup is formed.

Finally, pour soup into bowls and garnish with cilantro, hemp seeds, and coconut milk.

Kaylie’s Tips:

• There are two ways to create this soup: a handheld immersion blender or a traditional blender. I prefer using this immersion blender. It’s easy, saves times, and requires less dishes. Plus, you can create this soup from start to finish with just one pot. What an easy clean-up process, right?
  • If you do not own an immersion blender, you can still make this recipe! Simply blend the ingredients in a traditional blender instead.
• Garnish this creamy vegan sweet potato soup with cilantro, hemp seeds, and coconut milk. Other delicious toppings include roasted chickpeas, crushed peanuts, red pepper flakes, and green onion.
• Feel free to adjust the spices and seasoning to your preferred taste.
• Got leftovers? Allow the soup to cool before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator. It should keep for 2-3 days.
