Sweet and Creamy Sweet Potato Cream Soup
Sweet and Creamy Sweet Potato Cream Soup
Nutritious & Filling! Easy Sweet Potato Soup Recipe for a Perfect Breakfast
I’ve recreated a comforting sweet potato soup recipe that reminds me of my childhood mornings. My mom used to make it for me, along with banana smoothies, when I didn’t feel like eating rice for breakfast. It was so frequent that I even got tired of sweet potatoes and bananas for a while! She used to make it a bit thicker, but I prefer a smoother, thinner consistency, so I’ve adjusted the recipe with that in mind. This soup is perfect for a simple and nourishing start to your day, especially when you’re in a hurry. Let’s make this delightful sweet potato soup together!
Key Ingredients- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 medium onion
- 3 slices of American cheese
- 600ml milk
- 1 knob of butter (approx. 10g)
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your ingredients. You’ll need 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes, half a medium onion, and 3 slices of cheese for added richness.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and the onion. Chop them into small, uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly and blend smoothly later on.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Let it melt gently without burning.
Step 4
Once the butter is melted, add the chopped sweet potatoes and onion to the pan. Sauté them, stirring frequently, until they are coated with butter and start to turn a light golden yellow. This process takes about 3-5 minutes and helps to caramelize the vegetables, enhancing their sweetness and flavor.
Step 5
Pour in just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes and onions. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
Step 6
Now it’s time to blend. Carefully transfer the cooked sweet potatoes and onions into a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Add 600ml of milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. Ensure it’s velvety.
Step 7
Return the smooth sweet potato puree to the frying pan. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add a little more milk at this stage. Add one slice of American cheese and stir continuously over medium-low heat until the cheese has completely melted and incorporated into the soup. Keep stirring to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Finally, to enhance the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes and balance the flavors, add 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well. A quick simmer while stirring will bring everything together beautifully. Your delicious sweet potato soup is now ready! Serve hot and enjoy this comforting and nutritious meal.
