This Purple Sweet Potato Soup has only 9 ingredients, it's easy, filling, delicious, naturally gluten-free, vegan and paleo.

Tip: This dish serves three large portions or can be a side dish for 6. I ate this as a main dish with Schar Gluten Free Baguettes. I love to dip the bread in the soup!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized sweet potato
  • 1 bag baby carrots (16 oz / 1 lb)
  • 1 medium-sized yellow onion
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil


Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400.
  2. Wash, peel and slice potatoes about 1/4 inch thick
  3. Chop the onion and mince the garlic
  4. Place half of the onions, 2 teaspoons of garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sweet potatoes in a glass pan, add a pinch of real salt and pepper. In a second small glass pan, add the baby carrots with the remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic, and add a pinch of real salt and pepper.
  5. Roast sweet potatoes for 20 minutes (until they are tender), and remove them from the oven. Roast carrots for ~25 minutes or until they are tender. Turn after 10 minutes.
  6. Add roasted veggies (including the onion, olive oil, garlic) to slow cooker along with salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if desired) and vegetable stock – cook on low for 1.5 hours. Or, put roasted veggies in a pot on the stove, with vegetable stock, cinnamon (if desired), bring to a boil and then turn to simmer on low for 20 – 30 minutes stirring frequently.
  7. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Or, transfer soup to a Vitamix or blender to puree.
