Carrot Sweet Potato Ginger Soup ingredients

Sweet potato: one medium to large sweet potato will work for this recipe. You can also use a regular white potato if you prefer.
Carrots: you’ll need about 4 large carrots for this soup, or the equivalent of about 2 cups cut.
Onion: a regular cooking onion. You can also substitute for 2 shallots if you prefer.
Garlic: make sure to use fresh garlic, not powdered for this recipe.
Ginger: this is the key ingredient to give this soup a cozy and warming effect. Make sure to use fresh ginger.
Vegetable broth: I recommend using low-sodium broth so you can control how salty the soup turns out.
Cayenne pepper: just a pinch for a little extra spice.

How to make Carrot Sweet Potato Soup

Step 1

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes and carrots then toss them with 1/2 tablespoon of avocado oil. Spread the vegetables onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes.

Add the broth and seasoning and bring to a light boil, then cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Use an emulsion blender to blend the soup until smooth. (You can also use a regular blender if that’s what you have.)

Expert Tips

Roast the sweet potatoes and carrots. Rather than just adding them raw to the broth and letting them cook, make sure to roast the vegetables. This will give them a rich and caramelized flavour that will make the soup taste amazing.
Use low-sodium broth. This will give you more control over how salty the soup is. You can always add more salt as needed.
Add some yogurt or coconut milk on top. For a creamy and fresh taste, try adding a little bit of plain yogurt or coconut milk swirled on top of the soup.
