Vegan Purple Sweet Potato Soup

When it comes to cooking, my approach is to embrace seasonality and always incorporate color! Working with plants, it’s easy to derive vibrant colors, especially with soup!!
Purple sweet potatoes are one of those veggies that have gotten more love over the years. Surprisingly this variety has only been around since 2006. If you’re not familiar with them, they have the same flavor and texture as traditional sweet potatoes, but purple potatoes are actually said to be more on the sweeter side.
When boiled and mashed the purple sweet potatoes will lose color, which I hate, but when roasted and cooked they maintain that gorgeous hue and create the perf shade of purple!
What’s fab about this soup and any soup for the most part, is that it’s so easy!! You need just a handful of ingredients, a handful of time, and boom, you have an effortless gorgeous soup that will make you look like an iron chef!!

What’s fab about this soup, is everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, incorporates minimal ingredients, packs flavor, has a hint of sweet, pairs well with just about any main dish, perf for any season, can easily be made in bulk, will brighten up any table, and is just a gorgeous soup!!
If you love effortless concepts that pack flavor and vibrancy, you’re going to love this vegan Purple Sweet Potato Soup!!

Super recipe
Thanks for sharing Manoj!
I had this soup at the SFMOMA a year ago, and have dreamed of its color, taste and the pink swoosh of the creme fraiche. .When I found the purple sweet potatoes, I found your recipe – delicious! I went a bit heavier on the ginger, but otherwise stuck to the recipe above. Mine was not nearly as purple as the photos, but maybe the sweet potatoes vary. Thank you for this wonderful fall soup.
