Sweet Potato Ginger Soup Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/4 cup peeled and finely chopped ginger
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger, sweet potatoes, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Stir well and cook 1 to 2 minutes, coating potatoes with spices. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Simmer over medium heat 50 to 60 minutes or until potatoes are very soft. Remove soup from heat.
  3. Blend soup using a hand-held immersion blender, or puree in several small batches using a conventional blender. Return soup to the stove. Add LACTAID(R) Reduced Fat Milk, brown sugar and salt. Bring up to a simmer and serve.
