Are you searching for a healthy soup idea that’s both warming and packed with flavour? This sweet potato soup recipe with tomatoes and a touch of spice is the perfect comfort food recipe for chilly days. Not only is it an easy soup recipe, but it’s also naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it a versatile option for all dietary preferences.

I make ours in our soup maker for ease but this can be made on the hob using a large pan, or add even more flavours by roasting your ingredients in the oven.

Hot Sweet Potato and Tomato Soup Recipe

This homemade sweet potato soup combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the tangy richness of tomatoes. The addition of spices transforms this into a satisfying, spicy sweet potato soup, ideal for meal prep or a quick dinner option. Whether you’re looking for a vegetarian soup recipe or a winter soup idea, this dish is a must-try!

Ingredients:

• 3 medium Sweet Potatoes peeled and diced
• 1/2 White Onion peeled and diced
• 1/2 Tin chopped tomatoes
• 3/4 pint of chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
• 1/2 tsp Organic Cayenne Pepper Powder
• Few drops of Tabasco
• 1 clove garlic
• Salt and Pepper to season

Method:

Cut all ingredients up (if using a soup maker such as the Morphy Richards soup and smoothie maker which I have then cut up small so the lid can be added – the blade is attached to the lid so you need to allow for the space) and add to the soup maker or a large pan.

Turn up the heat and allow to simmer, turn down the heat and cook for 15 – 20 minutes.

Blend and serve.

Season with salt and pepper (if too hot then add a little double cream and stir in).

I cooked mine in the soup maker which meant I just turned it on, pressed the smooth option and it cooks for 21 minutes and also blends at the same time.

I had to add cream to this one for the children as it was too hot for them but once added they loved it.  You can freeze if you don’t add the cream.

If you are cooking on the hob or even in the oven:

• Start by roasting the sweet potatoes for a deeper flavour in your homemade sweet potato soup.
• Add the tomatoes and spices to create the perfect balance for this spicy tomato soup.
• Add the stock and leave to on a low heat for 30 minutes, stirring so nothing sticks to your pan or roasting tray.
• Blend the mixture to achieve a creamy consistency, ideal for any gluten-free soup recipe.

Additional Tips:

• For a heartier option, pair this hot sweet potato and tomato soup with crusty bread or a side salad.
• This recipe is perfect for meal prep. Store your quick and healthy soup in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later.
• This soup could be used as a delicious pasta sauce, topped with some grated cheese of your choice – a great way to get some extra veggies into your meals.

This spicy sweet potato soup is not only a delicious option for cold days but also a versatile addition to your weekly meal plan. Packed with nutrients and bursting with flavour, it’s the ultimate healthy soup idea. Ready to try it? Let us know how you enjoy this sweet potato and tomato soup recipe in the comments below!
