Oh, how I love soup this time of year. And even though I live in CA and the weather has been in the 70’s this week (don’t hate!), I still crave this velvety, rich, and creamy roasted sweet potato soup while I read all the news stories about everyone else surviving the blustery winter.
It’s hearty and incredibly filling, while still being low ing fat and calories, and full of fiber and vitamins.
The little touch of orange zest adds just the right kiss of flavor to the slight smokiness of the roasted sweet potatoes. I also like to add a sprinkle of ground chipotle powder on top of each serving to add a kick of heat too.
This is the perfect soup for when you don’t feel like chopping lots of vegetables or slaving over a simmering stew all day. It’s quick, easy, and absolutely divine. Enjoy!
ROASTED SWEET POTATO SOUP RECIPE
Sweet and creamy with a gentle touch of citrus and smokiness, this sweet potato soup is heavenly. Plus it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals and is incredibly filling.

Can’t wait to try this soup – when you say diced do you mean like 1″ cubes or really small dice?LaaLooshPost Author10 years ago
Thanks so much for the kind words! To answer your question, 1″ cubes are fine. The potatoes will soften when they are roasted, so they don’t need top be super small in order to puree easily.

Just wondering if you think skim milk would work just as well in this recipe. I follow Simply Filling on WW and that would make it totally Power Foods with skim milk. Keep these delicious recipes coming — I LOVE THEM!

The new format looks great, but it does not print properly. A simple recipe which should be one page ends up with three pages and lines that go through photos.
