  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • ½ whole Large Sweet Onion, Diced
  • 2 whole Carrots, Diced
  • 1 clove Garlic (large), Minced

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Peel and large dice sweet potato. Place sweet potato on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sea salt. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and saute onion, garlic, and carrot until tender. Add potato to the onion mixture and add the chicken stock.

Fantastic as written. I’ve made this a number of times, and I’ve tweaked it and it always comes out great. I’ve added about a teaspoon of curry, and it’s delicious. I even made it once with leftover Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole that had orange zest in it, then added the tsp. of curry, and everyone was stunned by how good it was.

This was excellent! It is very good even without the quinoa and topping.

I just made this last evening and my husband said this was some of the best soup I’ve made yet – and he has some tried and true favorites in the recipe collection! I made this as written and it was absolutely delicious as is – I did decide to add some curry and seasoned sea salt just to kick it up a bit. It doesn’t need a thing more than the salt & pepper to taste; but I do like the fact that I can easily change up the seasonings if I want to without losing the roasted sweet potato & vegetable flavors. Will most definitely be making this one again and again (& I’ll probably have to double the recipe because it was such a hit)! Thanks for a great new soup to add to my collection :)

This is a fantastic soup. It is easy and so delicious. My partner said it is one of the best things I’ve ever cooked for him in 7 years! Thanks so much. It’s wonderful to have a soup that is flavorful on its own, without over seasoning. You really get to taste the vegetables. Just wonderful.

This is a super easy, delicious soup that is meatless…even my 17 year old son loves it!
