How to Make Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and carrots and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken bouillon, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the sweet potato, add the water, and boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender about 25 to 30 minutes.
Add the apples. Using a stick blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy (alternatively, let the soup cool slightly, then puree in 2 batches in the blender.
Be sure to leave the hole in the lid open, and cover with a clean kitchen towel, to allow the steam to escape.) Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Ladle the carrot and sweet potato soup into bowls and serve with a swirl of cream if desired.
Notes: Add a swirl of cream that floats on top of the carrot and sweet potato soup: whip a few tablespoons of cream with a whisk until slightly thickened, then drizzle the cream over the carrot and sweet potato soup.
