Roasted Sweet Potato and Spinach Soup
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, roasted sweet potatoes, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
