This roasted sweet potato and apple soup is a creamy, cozy, and gently sweet recipe infused with warm spices. Roasting the sweet potatoes, apples, and onions caramelizes their natural sugars, creating deep, rich flavors. Combined with aromatic cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, this comforting soup is perfect for fall and winter meals. The addition of creamy coconut milk or heavy cream adds a luscious texture, making it a hearty yet healthy dish.

Ingredients

Vegetables and Fruit

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Spices

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger

Oils and Liquids

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ cup coconut milk or heavy cream

Optional Garnish

  • Toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Apple slices
  • Fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables and apples.
  2. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes, chopped apples, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper, tossing everything to coat evenly.
  3. Roast: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The vegetables and apples should be tender and lightly caramelized when done.
  4. Transfer to Pot: Once roasted, move the sweet potatoes, apples, and onions into a large pot.
  5. Add Spices and Broth: Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and minced garlic. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth.
  6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together for 10 minutes.
  7. Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender or a countertop blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream to add richness and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Serve: Serve the soup warm, garnished optionally with toasted pumpkin seeds, apple slices, or fresh thyme for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Roasting the sweet potatoes and apples enhances their natural sweetness and deepens the flavor of the soup.
  • For a spicy variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • If the soup thickens too much as it cools, thin it out by adding extra broth to reach desired consistency.
  • This soup freezes well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
