This Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup is so simple - and I LOVE simple.  Seriously, whenever I see a recipe with 10+ ingredients and a huge list of instructions my eyes start to glaze over.  Gimme simple and delicious EVERY DAY.

This soup came about when I had very little food in the house and was desperate to not have to go to the grocery store.  I always seem to have plenty of sweet potatoes, carrots, onions and stock in my house, so I decided to make a new spin on my Roasted Pumpkin Soup.

And wouldn't you know it - it was a winner.

I sadly still had to go to the damn grocery store...  but that's a whole other story!

Regardless I'm keeping this sweet potato and carrot soup in my back pocket for the next time I'm feeling lazy and have a whole lot of nothing in the cupboard.

Let's dig in...

  1. Linsey says

    What if I don't have an immersion blender? Can I use a food processor before blending with the stock?

    • Cassie says

      Hey Linsey - do you have a regular blender? could always use that (just make sure that it's ok to handle hot food or let it cool down before blending). Otherwise a potato masher would work in a pinch. the soup may have a more chunky consistency that way but no problems.

  2. Katie says

    When do you add the coconut milk? Will it make it thicker or thinner?

    • Cassie says

      You can add the coconut cream at the very end when you've dished it out if you'd like. I only add a dash for flavour, so it won't impact the thickness of the soup much at all.

  3. Fradel says

    Do I boil the vegetables and the stock?

    • Cassie says

      You blend the vegetables and the stock together after the vegetables have roasted, then place it on heat to warm it up before serving. I wouldn't recommend bringing it to a boil at this stage, no.

    Hi,
    Can I let this soup cool and freeze it?

    • Cassie says

      Absolutely! It'll freeze very well 🙂

      • Romina says

        Thanks!

    Congratulations! So excited to hear all about the wedding. I had absolutely nothing in the house for dinner last night and was really not wanting to go out so so happy when I saw this soup. Had all the ingredients and hit the spot
