Creamy Sweet Potato and Broccoli soup

Vegan Sweet Potato and Broccoli soup is, has a lovely creamy texture, rich and incredibly comforting. It is warm, and rich in anti-oxidants. Truly luxurious.

It is dairy and oil- free, and made with just 10 ingredients. This soup is perfect to warm you up on a cool day or when you wish for something deliciously light meal for dinner. You can also side it with a salad or garlic bread. I would say skip salad, and just have this soup. 🙂

It is loaded with nutrients, add pinch of anti- inflammatory turmeric to get an earthy feel to the soup.

How to make Creamy Sweet Potato and Broccoli soup?

You can put all ingredients(except herb) in a single pot and make the soup or roast broccoli separately and later mix it in the soup.

Usually, vegetable broth is used instead of water while preparing soup. I have used water instead of broth to keep the salt minimal.

Soak almonds in hot water for 10 minutes. Peel the skin and keep it ready.

Boil sweet potatoes, garlic, onion and handful of chopped green apples along with salt. Add in spices. Allow it cool down. Few green apples may be sweeter in taste, so add based on your liking. More you add, soup will be sweeter.

In the mean time, roast broccoli on stove top, or on the oven for few minutes.

Blend sweet potatoes along with few broccoli pieces ( totally optional, you can just added then later too) until smooth and creamy.
