What does Sweet Potato Soup taste like?

The Sweet Potato Soup is so full of flavors that you will be mesmerized by its taste.

It's naturally sweet because of the fresh Sweet Potatoes. The burst of flavors because of Ginger, Smoked Paprika and Red Pepper Flakes makes this extra delightful.

Sweet potato along with ginger gives a burst of fall flavors which is warm and comforting.

Of course the highlight is that fresh Coconut Cream on top which makes it taste so special and delicious.

Instant pot Sweet Potato Soup

I like to make this Sweet Potato Soup in the Instant Pot because it gets prepared very quickly.

However you can easily make this in the Crockpot, slow cook it for six hours on low and when it'll be done you can easily blend it and enjoy!

Instructions on making The Best Sweet Potato Soup

STEP 1: DUMP IN THE INSTANT POT

• Put the Instant Pot to saute mode
• Add olive oil. As the oil shimmers, add the Sweet Potatoes along with minced garlic, chopped Ginger, chopped Carrots, Red Pepper Flakes, Smoked Paprika, Salt and Pepper
• Saute for 5 minutes
• Once fragrant, add the Vegetable Broth
• Cover and cook on high pressure for 4 min
• Once cooked, quick release the pressure

STEP 2: BLEND THE SOUP

• Use an immersion blender to blend the soup
• OR, get the soup out in a bowl, cool it down to room temp.
• Blend it in batches in a traditional blender. If you want, you can leave it a little chunky. However, I like to blend it until smooth and velvety.
• Once blended, transfer to a serving bowl.

STEP 3: GARNISH & SERVE

• Garnish with fresh Coconut Cream and fresh Basil leaves
• Serve hot!

Remember to cool down the soup before blending in a traditional blender. Also, blend the soup in batches to prevent spillage.

Hint: For even better flavors, use Coconut Milk along with Vegetable Broth. It will get you a creamy and delicious soup.

Coconut Milk goes great with anything Sweet Potatoes. Try my Vegan Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pie with Coconut Milk
