Sweet Potato Soup with Avocado

Sweet Potato Soup with Avocado

This easy Sweet Potato Soup is blended in just a matter of minutes so that you can whip it up in a flash. So if you are in the mood for some cozy soup, but do not feel like spending hours slow-simmering some stew, make this! It is made special by serving with buttery cubes of avocado on top. Corn chips or tortilla strips on top too. I season it with my favorite spices and accents like chipotle and lime. And this healthy blend is loaded with vitamin A! Get this fan-fave recipe!..

Sweet Potato Soup. In a Flash.

This is an HHL fan-fave recipe, so I decided to update it with a few new photos for you guys. Recipe VIDEO too! Hope you guys love this easy, delicious soup as much as I do!

And of course, it all starts with a sticky-sweet baked sweet potato..

Reminds me of my Sweet Potato Burger recipe! Same flavors, different form...

Soup, Made in your Blender.

Oh I love soup this time of year. Just hand me a giant bowl of steamy soup with some toast on the side and I am a happy girl. And this sweet potato soup uses my favorite food .. sweet potatoes!

This soup kind of reminds me of THIS! It is like the soup version.

Change it Up. Pumpkin or Squash Too.

Not sweet potatoes? Craving pumpkin or winter squash? I actually have two recipe versions for you. One that includes a slow, oven-baked sweet potato as the base - as shown in my photos. Or you can sub in canned pumpkin OR butternut squash puree in place of the potato.

I loved this soup so much that I enjoyed the sweet potato version for lunch and whipped up a canned pumpkin version at dinnertime.

Broth. The first time I made this, I used Imagine Foods vegan No-Chicken Broth. It has a very savory veggie flavor that I love. But vegetable broth is perfect to substitute if needed. You can even use water, when in a pinch. I just add in a few additional spices like cumin and maybe even onion powder too, and of course salt - since broth is salted and water is not.

I sometimes add in non-dairy milk for added creaminess, and sometimes I just go with all broth or water. It depends on my mood for texture!

Another spin on this recipe is my Sweet Potato Cauliflower Soup. It has the same sort of flavors and is a great way to eat more cauliflower!

  • To warm soup, turn your blender on the ‘soup’ setting. Serve directly from the blender --- OR To warm and remove air bubbles, pour soup into a soup pot and simmer on medium for 5-10 minutes until reduced and air bubbles removed.
  • Pour soup into serving bowls.
  • Top with diced avocado, chips, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, sprinkle of smoky paprika and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Version: You can use the same recipe, subbing out the sweet potato. You may need less liquid to thin out this version of soup. You will need more salt since the pumpkin and squash are both very bland on their own.
