Creamy Curried Sweet Potato Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Curried Sweet Potato Soup.

1. Step 1

   Begin by gathering your ingredients and preparing your workspace. In a slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, sweet potatoes, baby carrots, and chopped onion. Sprinkle in the red curry powder, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger, stirring everything together to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. Set your slow cooker to low and let the mixture cook for about 7 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and the vegetables to become tender.

2. Step 2

   Once the cooking time is up, it’s time to blend the soup. Carefully pour the soup into a blender, filling it no more than halfway to avoid any spills. Secure the lid and pulse a few times to break up the larger pieces before blending until smooth. If your blender is small, you may need to do this in batches. Return the pureed soup to the slow cooker.

3. Step 3

   Now, stir in the half-and-half and maple syrup, which will add a lovely creaminess and a touch of sweetness to the soup. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference. Turn the slow cooker to high and let the soup cook for an additional 20 minutes, allowing it to heat through and the flavors to deepen even further.
