For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock. For a richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potato before adding it to the soup. Add a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a bright, zesty finish. If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works just as well, just be careful when blending hot liquids. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Prepare the Sweet Potato: Place the cubed sweet potato in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the sweet potato is fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
02
Step
6 mins
Sauté Aromatics: While the sweet potato is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03
Step
11 mins
Build the Flavor Base: Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked sweet potato, cumin, ginger, black pepper, brown sugar, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine well. Let simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
04
Step
5 mins
Puree the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
05
Step
1 mins
Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. If desired, garnish with toasted pepitas, a swirl of cream, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy!

Jun 26, 2025Easy to follow recipe and delicious results. I used coconut milk instead of cream for a vegan version and it was still fantastic.
