Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 large russet potato
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 3 small (minced) garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potato, then chop them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the chopped sweet potatoes and russet potato to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Heavenly Sweet Potato Soup!
