Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups sweet potato, cut into 1-inch chunks (skin on)
- 1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ red onion, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced thin
Liquids & Seasonings
- 6 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Garnish
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
- Chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Cut the sweet potatoes and carrots into 1-inch chunks without peeling the sweet potatoes. Roughly chop the red onion and garlic, and thinly slice the peeled ginger.
- Combine Ingredients: Add all prepared vegetables and ginger slices into a pot.
- Add Water and Seasoning: Pour in 6 cups of water, and season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper.
- Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer for 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with roughly chopped parsley. Optionally, sprinkle chili flakes and fresh thyme on top for added flavor and aroma.
Notes
- There is no need to peel the sweet potatoes—keeping the skin adds extra nutrients and fiber.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, a regular blender works perfectly but be cautious when blending hot liquids.
- Adjust the chili flakes according to your spice preference or omit for a milder soup.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- For a richer soup, add a splash of coconut milk or cream when blending.
