Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the pot, followed by the grated ginger, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Season the soup with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Enjoy your low fat creamy sweet potato soup with your choice of bread or a light salad on the side.
