Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

Vegan and Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Apple Soup. Only 4 main ingredients plus spices makes this a super simple and delicious thick soup for the colder months.

I had a little deja vu when I was making this soup. It wasn’t until I started writing this that I realized it’s because the only other soup I’ve posted on this blog is pretty similar: butternut squash and apple soup.

I’m not sure why I’m so inclined to put apples in everything (see here, here, and especially here, and the list could go on) because I don’t like to eat apples plain! I especially have an aversion to people eating raw apples in front of me. I think it has to do with an old boss who always spewed apple pieces near me at my desk while biting into his afternoon snack. But I digress.

Anyway, apple seems to work for me in all other forms. Especially roasted, in this soup. If you’re looking for a thick, delicious soup and love sweet potatoes, then this sweet potato and apple soup should go on your meal plan this week.

I roasted the sweet potatoes and apples first but you could instead cook them in the pot of vegetable broth. On medium-low for 20 minutes or so until tender before using the immersion blender. That’s the strategy I used for the butternut squash and apple soup.

Fresh parsley makes a big difference here, not only for the flavor but also the color splash. This soup is great with some homemade challah bread too!
