Recently, we have been enjoying a lot of sweet potato recipes, either roasted in the air fryer or cooked in the instant pot. I wanted to share this delicious sweet potato soup made with ginger and creamy coconut milk with you. This soup is so easy to make by just putting in all the ingredients in the instant pot and cooking. Then, puree with an immersion blender and enjoy! This soup is the best if you follow a vegan, gluten-free, or paleo diet. I add coconut milk to this soup for extra creaminess and to keep it dairy-free. This creamy soup is also perfect for babies and toddlers as it is nutritious. It contains ginger and all the healthy filling vegetables to keep their hunger pangs at bay. Also, this gluten-free sweet potato soup contains fresh carrots filled with beta-carotene and other wonderful nutrients.
How to make Sweet Potato Soup in the Instant Pot?
Before getting started, wash and peel the sweet potatoes and carrots. Chop them into small chunks. Slice the onions, grate the ginger, and peel the garlic.
Add the onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, ginger, garlic, and spices to the pressure cooker steel insert. Add the required amount of water and stir them well. Close the lid with the vent in the sealing position. Set the Instant pot on high pressure for 10 minutes. When the pressure cooking is done, let the pressure release manually. Open the pot and blend the soup smoothly using an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender and puree. Let the ingredients cool a bit before blending if using a regular blender.
Finally, add the coconut milk and top it off with the garnishes of your choice.
Pro-Tips
Use orange or red-skinned sweet potatoes. They are sweeter and creamier. Use the immersion blender if you like your sweet potato bisque smooth and creamy. If you want it chunky, then a potato masher would work great. You can make this soup in a slow cooker or on the stovetop too; check out the recipe card for more details. Some garnishing ideas – are parsley, pepitas, red chili flakes, sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, chopped cashews, or coconut milk.
Variations
Give this sweet potato soup a Thai twist by adding some Thai Red Curry paste. You can also add lentils to this soup before pressure cooking. You can add other veggies like beets, squash, pumpkin, or apples.
