Orange Spiced Sweet Potato Soup

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Soups
The pairing of sweet potato and orange is a true energy boost. Although both have sweet base notes, the acidity and essential oils of the orange bring freshness to the starch-heavy potato. This soup plays with textures and aromas: the creamy, filling base is lifted by citrus. Especially comforting in winter, as the scent and color of orange radiate warmth.

Instructions

1 ✓

Zest and juice the orange. Dice the sweet potato and chop the onions.

Tip: The essential oils in the zest provide the aroma, while the juice adds acidity.
2 ✓

Sauté onion in oil until translucent, add garlic and sweet potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes.

Tip: Sweet potatoes are high in sugar; sautéing caramelizes them for a tastier soup.
3 ✓

Pour in broth, season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft (approx. 20 mins).

Tip: Sweet potatoes cook faster than regular potatoes due to their looser cell structure.
4 ✓

Blend the soup until smooth.

Tip: You want a completely velvety texture.
5 ✓

Stir in cream, orange juice, and zest. Warm through but do not boil.

Tip: Add orange juice at the end to preserve Vitamin C and fresh flavors.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the soup bitter?
You likely grated the white pith of the orange skin. Always use only the outer bright orange zest!
Can I swap the cream?
Coconut cream is excellent here and pairs even better with the exotic flavor profile.
