Welcome to our delightful Sweet Potato Soup with Cheese & Thyme Toast recipe!

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, then cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large pot, add the sweet potatoes, potatoes, onion, and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken gravy.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches, blending until smooth and then returning to the pot.
- While the soup is simmering, preheat your oven's broiler.
- Lay the slices of white bread on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over each slice.
- Top each slice with a pinch of the fresh thyme.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
5. Final Touches:
- Stir the light sour cream into the soup until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Serve each bowl with a slice of the cheese and thyme toast on the side or on top of the soup.
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider roasting the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes before adding them to the soup. This will deepen their natural sweetness.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken gravy or simmer the soup longer to allow it to reduce and thicken.
- Feel free to adjust the garlic and thyme quantities according to your taste preferences. More garlic will add a bolder flavor, while additional thyme will enhance the herbal notes.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread for the cheese and thyme toasts.
- Serving the soup with a squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives can add a lovely brightness and freshness.
- To make the soup extra creamy, you can blend it in batches and then return it to the pot to reheat.
We hope you enjoyed making this nutritious and delicious Sweet Potato Soup with Cheese & Thyme Toast. The combination of flavors and textures makes it an ideal choice for a hearty meal.
