Creamy soups like potato soup, pumpkin soup, or creamy carrot soup are perfect for fall! Especially when served with a slice of garlic bread for dipping.

How to Make Sweet Potato Soup

For the best homemade version, use the best ingredients, luckily, they are all easy to find and affordable too!

Cook the onion, garlic, and celery in butter until until they are tender and lightly browned.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, apple, warm spices and salt and pepper to taste (per recipe below).
Pour in the chicken (or vegetable) broth, cover the pan and simmer until the potatoes are completely soft.
Remove ginger and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.

No Immersion Blender? No problem, you can puree hot soup in a blender. Be sure to work in small batches to avoid overfilling and a possible hot soup splatter!

Carefully pour about two cups of hot soup in a blender and blend until it’s the consistency you prefer.
Return the soup to the stock pot or pan and carefully whisk in the heavy cream.

Simmer and serve garnished with croutons and bacon bits.

How Long Will it Last?

Most cream-style soups will last about a week in the refrigerator as long as they are tightly covered to keep them from absorbing odors or flavors from other items.

Be sure to stir it thoroughly and refresh the flavor with a dash of salt and pepper and it will be good as new!

Can You Freeze Sweet Potato Soup?

You sure can, and it is so easy to do!

After it is completely cooled, ladle it into freezer bags and write the date on the outside.
Freeze the soup flat or, pour the soup into airtight freezer containers! Don’t forget to label!

If freezing flat, once it is frozen, you can stand it upright (imagine books in a bookcase) to save space in the freezer.
