    TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST PURPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP EVER

    BAKE OR ROAST PURPLE SWEET POTATOES TILL SOFT. If you want a truly unique purple potato soup and have a little extra time, roast your purple potatoes in the oven before adding to your soup for even more flavor!

    SAUTE ONIONS TILL SOFT AND TRANSLUCENT. Onions add the best base soup flavor! I always start my healthy soup recipes with caramelized onion which adds SO much flavor to soup.

    COOK 30 MINUTES ON LOW AFTER ADDING SPICE. Allow time for the purple potatoes to soak up all the delicious flavor of the spices.

    PUREE USING AN IMMERSION BLENDER. This is so much easier than transferring to a blender to puree!

    HOW TO MAKE PURPLE POTATO SOUP HOME

    This romantic purple potato soup recipe is SO easy to make and will compliment any special romantic dinner!

    Step 1: Sauté the onion

    Melt the coconut oil over medium heat. You can also use any other high heat oil like avocado oil or algae oil. Once the oil is heated, add the 1 diced red onion. Sauté the onions until soft and translucent and beginning to caramelize.

    Step 2: Add all the rest of the ingredients

    • 4 large purple sweet potatoes (~8 cups diced purple potato)
    • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 6 cups chicken bone broth

    Cover your purple soup and cook for about 30 minutes so all the flavors can come together nicely.

    Step 3: Puree the purple sweet potato soup

    Finally, your soup is ready to be pureed. The easiest way to do this is with an immersion blender. No pouring of hot soup into a small blender and having extra dishes to clean!

    HOW TO SERVE PURPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP

    Top your warm soup with some fresh plain Greek yogurt.

    Plain coconut yogurt is also good on it! You can also add olive oil and green onions!

    HOW TO MAKE ROASTED PURPLE POTATO SOUP INSTEAD

    If you have a little extra time, roasting the purple potato adds even more delicious flavor to your healthy romantic soup recipe! Prick the purple sweet potato all over the outside. Roast it in your oven at 375 degrees fahrenheit for about 30 minutes till it is nice and soft.

    Then add it directly to your soup along with the broth! You can leave the skin on or off it is up to you. I love leaving the potato skin on for soup because I am pureeing it anyway (so you don't even notice you're eating potato skin) but also because the potato skin has so much more nutrients!

    FAQ’S

    Frequently asked questions about purple sweet potato soup recipe.

    WHAT IS UBE?

    Ube is a purple sweet potato or purple yam that originated in southeast Asia.

    ARE PURPLE POTATOES HEALTHIER THAN SWEET POTATOES?

    They each have their own unique benefits! Purple potatoes are high in a special antioxidant only found in purple plants. Sweet potatoes are super high in beta carotene, potassium, and fiber.

    As a registered dietitian and expert in gut and skin health for women, I recommend women to eat a variety of colored plant foods throughout the week because they all have something a little bit different for your gut and skin health!

    DO PURPLE SWEET POTATOES TASTE DIFFERENT?

    Purple sweet potatoes have a milder taste than orange sweet potatoes. They are also a little more dry and starchier than sweet potatoes.

    WHAT IS PURPLE SWEET POTATO GOOD FOR?

    Purple sweet potatoes are good for roasting, baking, frying, and boiling. Leave the skin on to get all the nutrients and fiber benefits.

    IS PURPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP VEGAN?

    To make vegan purple sweet potato soup, simply replace the bone broth with vegetable broth. All other ingredients in my soup are vegan and dairy free friendly.
