Vegan Sweet Potato Soup

The other night, I only wanted one sweet potato, but I washed a bunch of sweet potatoes, stabbed them with a steak knife a few times, and popped them in the oven. I had no idea what I was going to make with a cookie sheet full of sweet potatoes but I knew it would come to me. The next night, having these sweet potatoes pre-cooked and ready to go made making this vegan sweet potato soup a breeze! Jump to Recipe

Sweet Potato Soup … So Tasty!
Yes. This is WHOLE30 … 

We have been doing Whole30 this month so anything that’s gluten-free, dairy-free and easy makes my heart sing.

Sweet potato love

I like to start every soup with onions. Usually onions and garlic. But today I just went with the onions.

Always start soup with onions…
How To Make This Sweet Potato Soup 

To begin, I sautéed an enormous onion (sliced) in olive oil and a little salt. While the onions were cooking, I had my little helpers assist me with getting the skins off the pre-cooked sweet potatoes.

After the onions were translucent and a tiny bit starting to brown, I added the sweet potatoes to our heavy-bottomed stock pan. I broke the potatoes up with a wooden spoon and stirred them around with the onions. I added one can of coconut milk and about a half a carton of vegetable broth and stirred it all together really well.

Immersion Blender … One Of My Favorite Kitchen Tools

I was looking for a smoother soup, so I quickly took out my immersion blender (such a handy kitchen tool!) and gave the soup a couple of quick spins. I tasted my soup and added a little more salt and then heated it at a medium-high heat until it was the perfect temp for dinner. That’s it. It was really that easy. The kids devoured this! If you aren’t doing Whole30, make some homemade croutons or parmesan crisps to top this simple, delicious, meal.

Enjoy!
