How to Make Simple Sweet Potato Soup

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk reduces calories while still providing creaminess.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade stock can be more nutritious and flavorful.

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: butternut squash

💰Cheaper: carrots

Both alternatives provide a similar texture and sweetness.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier while canola oil is often less expensive.

Pour 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil into a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add 1 white diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger; sauté for about 1 minute.

Add 2 pounds of diced sweet potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper, and 4 cups of vegetable broth.

Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes until sweet potatoes are super soft.

Blend the mixture using a regular blender or hand immersion blender.

Add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and let it melt before serving.
