Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Chop the onion into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sweet potato cubes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth, being careful with the hot liquid.)

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.

Step 10

Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley (if using), and serve warm.
