Sweet Potato Ginger Soup (Dairy-Free, Paleo)

Print

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know how much I love soups in the colder months of the year. I have a few favorites that I make on rotation throughout fall and winter. This creamy sweet potato ginger soup is another one I adore and make on repeat.

If you like sweet potatoes or sweet-tasting foods in general, you will love this recipe. Fresh ginger root is another key ingredient that elevates the flavor profile by adding that zing!

To make it smooth and creamy, I like to use an immersion blender to puree the soup. If you don’t have one, you can throw the soup into a blender (do it in batches if necessary) and blend until it’s smooth. Be careful not to burn yourself and if possible cover the lid with a towel to prevent the steam from getting out.

Further Food Commentary:

Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, anthocyanins, and beta-carotene. Fiber promotes gut health, anthocyanins can help reduce the risk of cancer, and beta-carotene supports vision health.
