How To Make Roasted Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup
Recipe Tips
Roast Until Tender. Make sure your sweet potatoes and carrots are fork-tender before adding and blending the soup. I roast mine for 20 minutes, but ovens can be different so always double-check. Fork tender means that if you try to pick up a piece with a fork, you won’t be able to, because it will fall right off. Blend Well. I love my Vitamix high speed blender for lots of things, but it is particularly great at blending soups like this one. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, a handheld immersion blender is your best second choice.Change Up the Garnishes. I did a swirl of heavy cream, a grind of black pepper, and some fresh cilantro leaves. A creamy dollop of yogurt, sour cream, coconut cream, or heavy cream will add a beautiful and delicious extra creaminess to sweet potato soup. As for fresh herbs, you can do parsley, chives, or dill if you like.
Storing Tips
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over gentle heat until warmed through. Add a splash of water if the soup has thickened too much. Or store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. For easy re-heating, freeze in individual serving sizes.
