Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the pot, followed by the grated ginger, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Season the soup with salt and black pepper.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Enjoy your low fat creamy sweet potato soup with your choice of bread or a light salad on the side.
