Savory Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a large pot, combine the low-sodium chicken broth, drained chickpeas, cubed sweet potatoes, butternut squash, sliced onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about 3 hours. This slow cooking will soften the squash and sweet potatoes, creating a rich and flavorful soup. After the cooking time, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a food processor. Blend until silky and smooth, then return it to the pot. Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more cayenne for a kick if you like it spicy. Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting warmth of this delightful soup!
