Straddling the space between hearty and light, this Creamy Roasted Sweet Potato Soup is a comforting meal just begging to be garnished with tasty toppings.Ā 

There’s something unequivocally comforting about a bowl of soup when the weather turns cool and crisp. Hearty soups, creamy soups, spicy soups, noodle soups, I don’t discriminate, I love ā€˜em all.

The soup I’m about to lay on you – Creamy Baked Sweet Potato Soup – lives in the space between hearty and light. It’s creamy and luxurious, each spoonful bursting with sweet potato flavor bolstered by complementary seasonings; garlic, onion, brown sugar, and smoked paprika offer a beautiful balance to this creamy bowl of sweet potato goodness.

A Note on Textural Contrast and Flavor Enhancers

The beauty of this roasted sweet potato soup being mild-flavored is that you can easily switch up the flavor profile, depending on your mood. A few dashes of hot sauce, a swirl of crema, a peppering of fresh or dried herbs, a sprinkling of shredded cheese, and voila! Each bowlful can be a unique experience.Ā 

I opted for toasted pepitas and a generous swirl of crema.

Effort Required: Slight Forethought and a Willingness to Blend 

This roasted sweet potato soup comes together pretty quickly once you have the baking of the sweet potatoes out of the way. You could even bake the sweet potatoes a bit in advance, then assemble the soup at a later time. And the seasonings are kept to a minimum 1) to let the flavor of the sweet potato star and 2) laziness. This soup requires a handful of pantry staples and a willingness to blend the soup. Give me that and you’ll have a lovely creamy sweet potato soup with leftovers to boot.Ā Ā Ā
