Broccoli and sweet potato soup is a nutritious and hearty meal that combines the earthy flavors of broccoli with the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes. This creamy soup is not only delicious but also packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a great option for a healthy lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
- Chop the broccoli into florets. If the stems are tender, you can also include them by slicing them thinly.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and broccoli to the pot.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring that the vegetables are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and broccoli are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious as the soup will be hot.
- Once the soup is blended and smooth, stir in the Greek yogurt.
- Mix well until the yogurt is fully incorporated, giving the soup a creamy texture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any additional seasonings you like at this stage (such as garlic powder, a pinch of nutmeg, or a splash of lemon juice).
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or a salad for a complete meal. Enjoy the comforting and nutritious flavors of this broccoli and sweet potato soup!
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, mash the vegetables with a potato masher instead of blending them.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor that complements the sweet potatoes.
- To make the soup vegan, substitute greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or coconut cream.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
