Description
Jamie Oliver’s Sweet Potato Soup is a creamy, comforting dish made by simmering sweet potatoes with onions, garlic, spices, and vegetable stock, then blending it to a silky texture. Finished with a touch of cream or coconut milk, it’s both flavorful and satisfying.
Ingredients
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- 1 onion, finely chopped
-
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
-
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
- 800g (1.75 lbs) sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
- 1 carrot, diced
-
- 1 liter (4 cups) vegetable stock
-
- 200ml (3/4 cup) coconut milk or heavy cream
-
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
- Fresh coriander or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
Add the sweet potatoes and carrot, stirring to coat them in the spices. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 3: Blend the Soup
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a countertop blender.
Step 4: Add Coconut Milk or Cream
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk or cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh coriander or parsley, and serve warm.
