Ingredient Notes
Like when I make my purple mashed sweet potatoes, I only use stokes purple sweet potatoes for this recipe.
It really doesn’t matter what brand you use for taste...but if you want that gorgeous hue, I find that stokes color is always so vibrant and stunning.
With that said, this recipe is so so simple yet so delicious. It’s super creamy even with zero dairy at all.
How to Make Purple Sweet Potato Soup
Here are the step by step instructions to make this soup!
Step 1: Cook the Onions and Potatoes
Cooke the onions and chopped potatoes in the oil for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add in the Ingredients
Add the rest of the ingredients aside from salt and pepper and cook for about 30-45 minutes until everything is soft.
Step 3: Blend it
Use an immersion blender to make it into a creamy soup. Then stir in the salt and pepper.
If you don’t have an immersion blender, that’s ok! A regular blender works as well but you will have to blend the soup in batches since it won’t all fit into the blender at once.
And that is seriously it. This Purple Sweet Potato Soup recipe could not be more delicious and easy to make. Perfect gluten free, nut free and vegan soup for those chilly nights. Enjoy!
