Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large russet potato
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 small (minced) garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potato, then chop them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the chopped sweet potatoes and russet potato to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Heavenly Sweet Potato Soup!
