    Ingredients for sweet potato soup

    • Sweet potatoes

    • Garlic
    • Carrots
    • Vegetable broth

    • Olive oil
    • Seasonings
    sweet potatoes, tahini, vegetable broth, garlic, carrots, onion, lime, olive oil, seasonings

    How to make sweet potato soup

    Start by prepping all your vegetables which you can easily do in advance.

    Add olive oil to large soup pan over medium heat.

    Dice the. onion, carrots, and garlic and add to pot and cook until just translucent several minutes.

    Then add the seasoning and stir to combine.

    Stir in diced peeled sweet potatoes and vegetable broth and bring to boil.

    Recipe notes and substitutions

    If topping with roasted chickpeas I recommend making those in advance of preparing the soup.

    They can easily be roasted in a 400 degree oven drizzled with olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Make sure to rinse and thoroughly dry them before roasting.

    You can swap out the tahini with cashew butter or almond butter or even leave it out all together. I recommend it since it adds a mild flavor that yields extra creamy soup.

    This soup can be made in advance and stored in a covered container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Just make sure to cool completely before storing.

    For longer storage you can freeze in airtight freezer safe containers or bags.

      I have a odd addiction to sweet potatoes now, and this looks spectacular. It's such a great idea to have tahini in there as well, would have never have thought to put it in soup! I also use soup as dressing and sometimes dips for snacks haha! Funny! 🙂 That usually happens when I have too much soup and I get to the point where I put it in everything I can mix it into haha!
