Ingredients for Easy Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

I love that this creamy, cozy sweet potato soup uses simple, easy-to-find ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

• Coconut Oil – Adds a subtle richness and helps lightly sauté the sweet potatoes. Olive oil works too if that’s what you have on hand!

• Sweet Potatoes – The star of the show! Their natural sweetness creates a silky smooth base for this comforting soup.

• Vegetable Broth – Keeps things light while adding savory depth. You can also use chicken broth if you’re not making it vegetarian.

• Dried Minced Onion – Brings in a little umami without the fuss of chopping. Fresh onion works, too—just sauté it with the sweet potatoes!

• Garlic Powder – For a mellow, garlicky flavor that blends right in. Feel free to sub in fresh garlic if you prefer.

• Cinnamon – A touch of warm spice that pairs so perfectly with sweet potatoes!

• Agave or Honey – Just a hint of sweetness to balance the flavors. Use maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.

• Unsweetened Almond Milk – Makes the soup creamy without being heavy. Any plant-based milk or even regular milk works here!

• Salt & Pepper – Season to taste for the perfect flavor balance.
