    This sweet potato and carrot soup recipe is simple to make. It's a great healthy, tasty side dish or light meal on any given day of the week.

    I was served carrot soup at a conference and I've always wanted to try making it at home. However, when it came down to it I decided to add sweet potatoes and some fresh ginger to liven up the taste.

    Making Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

    What You Need

    • Sweet Potatoes
    • Carrots
    • Onions
    • Garlic
    • Ginger
    • Broth
    • Salt and Pepper
    Sweet potatoes and carrots in broth in a pot on the stove.

    This reminds me of making mashed potatoes because you are basically boiling the vegetables to mash later.

    A fork testing the tenderness of the carrots in the pot of soup.

    Once the carrots are fork tender you know that they are ready to puree.

    Also, this is the time when I stirred in the ginger. I wanted it to be fresh and bright and not cooked into the soup.

    Then I used an immersion blender. However, you could also transfer the entire pot into a Vitamix or other blender and blend it that way.

    Health Benefits

    We all know that carrots are a great source of vitamin A. However, did you know that they also are a source of Vitamin C and calcium? And sweet potatoes have even more of the same and other benefits such as manganese, potassium, B6, and more.

    Addition and Substitutions

    I really feel like this soup can be adapted in so many ways.

    • Don't like ginger, leave it out. Or replace it with another favorite spice such as fresh thyme.
    • Too mild? Add some cayenne or red pepper flakes to kick up the heat.
    • Substitute regular potatoes for the sweet potatoes or try other combinations of root vegetables such as butternut squash and parsnips.

    The creaminess of the pureed vegetables with an extra kick of fresh ginger really made this soup delicious. And we could feel good about it too.

      Delish soup! This was fabulous for a chilly Canadian January Monday night dinner. Kids and hubby loved it! We steamed the veg in microwave with a silicone steamer and cut down on time. Great flavours, all what we had in the house anyway. After 2 weeks of being on vacation and eating out too much this was perfect. Thank you!!
