It is coooooold outside. Like seriously cold. Therefore, we have made a decision, we want to eat as many nutritious and comforting meals as possible allll Winter long. We keep adding new soup recipes to our repertoire and also love Dutch Split Pea Soup, Miso Soup with Leeks and Carrots and our Autumn Glow Butternut Squash Soup.

Tips to make the perfect leek sweet potato soup

  • You can enjoy this soup completely mixed or you can undermix a bit and enjoy a chunkier soup.
  • Ras El Hanout is our favorite mixture of spices (along with these organic Herbes de Provence) and truly adds a special flavor to this recipe. Don’t skip it!
  • Enjoy this soup with the cheesiest cheese toast.

Add your own twist to this soup

  • Use a vegetarian bouillon cube to make this a 100% vegetarian recipe.
  • We topped this leek sweet potato soup with Emmental cheese, but you could grate your favorite cheese on top.

You may need

  • You will need a hand mixer (aka. an immersion mixer) for this recipe. We love the Kitchen Aid immersion mixer. It is sturdy and gets the job done (it’s also really cute and matches the rest of our KitchenAid kitchen appliances and Le Creuset cookware in red cerise).
  • To follow this recipe exactly, you will need Ras El Hanout spices. This is a mixture of delicious spices. We love this Ras El Hanout.
  • Use these vegetarian bouillon cubes to make this soup 100% vegetarian.

Leek Sweet Potato Soup Wine Pairing

We highly recommend a full bodied Merlot to go with this soup, such as this Altos de San Esteban La Perra Gorda 2015 (Spain).
