Would you like a bowl of sweet potato and carrot soup? It is delicious and a great way to get your servings of vegetables.
This is a quick and easy to soup to make and it freezes well in smaller portions. I’m a plain cook, don’t add many spices or seasonings due to health issues. The ingredients are naturally gluten free.
Ingredients
- 500 gram sweet potato, cubed
- 300 grams of carrots, diced small
- 80 grams sweet onion
- 4 cups of water
- 1 cup of milk
- seasoning of your choice
*** Hint: Waste not want not.
I frequently save the liquid from cooking veggies and potatoes to use as stock for my soups. I also poach chicken in water and save the liquid to use as a base for my chicken soups.
Directions
- Saute onion in butter till translucent
- Add water, carrots, sweet potato and stock cube if using.
- Cook till soft. Let cool.
- Puree in blender
- Add milk and mix well.
Regular visitors know I use freezer bags that store flat and take up a lot less space to freeze portions of soup. This soup keeps its lovely orange colour, even when frozen. It thaws quickly on the counter and then pours into a mug or bowl.
I’m sharing with Souper Sunday and Tasty Tuesday.

Just came in from doing yard work and a nice bowl sounds just about right.

Oh, hooray for soup! Here it’s Beef Vegetable. Sweet potato and carrot would make a wonderful combination.

My type of soup! So yummy. And so easy to make. Thanks for sharing it. I’ve pinned it to save the recipe. Happy weekend!

I find any vegetables sauteed and cooked with spices then blended up makes a mighty fine soup and is a complete meal with a nice chunk of crusty bread. But when it comes to sweet potatoes, I prefer them drizzled with olive oil and roasted in the oven. I eat them as is, or sometimes sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped walnuts and have them for breakfast. 🙂

Ha! I was going to make sweet potato soup last night, but I ended up making oven-roasted sweet potato “fries.” Ooops. Soup will on for next week. I’ll have have to give your recipe a try.

We love sweet potato fries too Beth. I opted for soup as I’m stocking up the freezer. Thanks for stopping by.

what a great combination for Thanksgiving. I’ve got sweet potatoes and I’ve got carrots. Sounds good

Surprising that your soup has no spices! Indian, moroccan, mexican, or simple herb blends could add depth.
best… mae

I’m a plain cook, hardly any spices or seasonings due to health restrictions. The ones you mention would cause havoc with my insides. But I always say that seasonings are up to you. I also love just the natural taste of the food without any additives. Thanks for stopping by.

That sounds like a good combination Linda, I will have to try it. I added sweet potato to the vegetable soup I made a week ago.
