Curried Sweet Potato Soup

June 21, 2018 by Lindsay 27 Comments

Small ingredient list, big flavor. This Curried Sweet Potato Soup is perfect for a vegetarian dinner on a cold fall evening. Make a double batch and freeze some for a busy week!

I used to hate this soup.

My mom made it all the time when we were growing up. I remember the smell of it, and watching her set up the blender right next to the stove so she could puree batches at a time. Some always spilled!

Now I love it. It’s hearty and spicy and it makes a great dinner side or appetizer.

    This soup looks unbelievably good! Any dish that has ample curry flavor is a winner in my book. Thanks for linking this up to my hop.

    I made this last night – so good!! I decided to add roasted red peppers to it because I had a couple bell peppers to use up. I would highly recommend! I roasted them for around 20 min at 450 then steamed and took the skins off and threw them in right before the stage where you bring the soup to a boil and then simmer. Probably added a few minutes to the prep time but they were roasting while I chopped up the leeks and potatoes, so it worked out!

      also for those wanting nutrition info, I entered everything into MyFitnessPal. Divided into 5 servings, with added 2 red bell peppers and using low-sodium chicken broth instead of veg broth, it comes out to 260 cal/serving. VERY hearty and filling!
