This Savory Sweet Potato and Maple Soup combines tender sweet potatoes with aromatic spices and a hint of maple syrup to create a velvety, rich texture that is both satisfying and flavorful.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend just half of the soup and mix it back in.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or a light salad.
