A creamy, comforting vegan soup made with sweet potatoes, tart apples, and rich coconut milk. Sweet Potato Apple Coconut Soup is warming, nourishing, and perfect for cozy meals during cooler weather.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat or light)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the chopped onion for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add sweet potatoes and apples. Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon, and stir to combine.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until vegetables are fork-tender.
  5. Remove from heat and blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender (or carefully in batches with a countertop blender).
  6. Stir in coconut milk. Reheat gently and adjust seasoning. Add lime juice if using.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Add curry powder or cayenne for a spicy variation.
  • Use pears instead of apples for a different flavor profile.
  • Top with crispy chickpeas or stir in lentils for added protein.
  • Thin with more broth or water if a lighter texture is desired.
  • Freezes well—cool completely before storing in freezer-safe containers.
