Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by peeling and chopping sweet potatoes into uniform cubes, finely chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic cloves.
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cumin to the onions, stirring continuously to prevent burning and release aromatic flavors.
- Add diced sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Pour vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring all sweet potato pieces are covered, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in almond milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reheat the soup gently if needed, being careful not to boil.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with toasted almond slivers or a drizzle of cream.
Tips
- To ensure a silky-smooth soup, make sure to cook the sweet potatoes until they're tender and easily pierced with a fork. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches, then return it to the pot. For an extra creamy texture, add a splash more almond milk or a dollop of sour cream. Experiment with different spices, such as paprika or nutmeg, to give the soup an extra boost of flavor. And don't forget to garnish with toasted almond slivers or a drizzle of cream for a beautiful and Instagram-worthy presentation!
