Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Fruits

  • 5 cups sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup apple (Gala or Golden Delicious recommended), chopped
  • 1 large shallot or 2 small shallots, chopped

Spices & Seasonings

  • ⅛ teaspoon fresh nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Liquids & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3½ cups low sodium vegetable broth (enough to cover vegetables; add more as needed)
  • Maple syrup, to taste (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Heat olive oil in a medium-sized soup pan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Sauté vegetables and fruit: Add sweet potatoes, apples, and a good pinch of kosher salt to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes to combine flavors and slightly soften ingredients.
  3. Add broth and simmer: Pour in just enough low sodium vegetable broth to cover the sweet potatoes and apples. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes and apples are soft and tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  4. Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until perfectly smooth. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender in batches to puree until smooth. Add extra broth if the soup is too thick, stirring to combine.
  5. Season and serve: Stir in fresh nutmeg, cinnamon, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add a touch of maple syrup if desired to enhance sweetness. Serve warm.
  6. Store leftovers: Transfer any remaining soup to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
