This vegan sweet potato broccoli soup is an antioxidant powerhouse! It’s a delicious and healthy soup, made with calcium-rich broccoli, sweet potatoes, seasoned with ginger, garlic, turmeric, and coconut milk.
The sweet potatoes provide a rich, creamy texture and the broccoli a punch of freshness. Add an anti-inflammatory boost of turmeric, spicy ginger, and earthy garlic and you have the perfect, hearty soup to warm you up on a cool day. This one-pot wonder requires very little preparation-simply chop the veggies, add to a pot and voila!
Vegans and non-vegans alike will enjoy this soup. It’s a cross between a broth-based and a cream-like soup, which in my opinion is the perfect consistency-not too watery, not too creamy. The canned coconut milk adds just the right amount of sweetness without altering the light, fresh taste of this soup.
The addition of herbs and spices not only render this soup delicious but also healthy. Turmeric has a peppery, warm and bitter flavour and is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger has a pungent and spicy bite and aids in relieving gastro-intestinal issues, and garlic boasts bold flavour and as we know, meany medicinal properties.
Prepare a large batch and store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an air-tight containter or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Trying to use up staples before going on vacation, sweet potatoes mainly. Will try it tonight, since hubby took ribs, leftover, to work for lunch today and we DO try to not eat meat every meal.
Don’t have fresh broccoli but a bag of florets ought to work just fine. This sorta reminds me of a Thai Green Curry recipe I have.
On another note, I could eat soup for dinner anytime of year.
Florets will work just fine! I also LOVE soup!! Let me know how it turns out for you!
Oh yeah, this recipe is a keeper for sure. Hubby really liked it too! Of course, he likes his bread, so, had some heal ends from ciabatta bread, cubed and toasted them in the oven drizzled with some EVOO and sprinkle of garlic powder. Perfect! Thank you Lisa
That’s great! Glad to hear you love it as much as we do! Good call on the ciabatta bread…my husband would go for that too!!
Just made this soup and it was fab ! I used fresh grated ginger along with the garlic, turmeric and coconut milk. I cooked the sweet potatoes for 10 mins or so before adding the broccoli florets as I like my broccoli to have some ‘bite’. I feared cooking for 20 to 25 mins would make the broccoli a bit mushy ! This is a keeper ! Thanks Lisa xx
Hi Wendy! Thanks for much for the feedback! I’m so happy you love the recipe as much as we do! Make sure you come back for more 😉
I love soup and am always on the lookout for a good recipe. I Will try this one
This looks pretty simple to make. I would of never thought of mixing these two together, but I love me some sweet potatoes and the kids love eating broccoli would be a hit in this house.
Doesn’t get any simpler than just throwing everything into a pot!
Vegetarian here…thanks for the easy baby recipe. We don’t eat meat (we love cheese though) and I like that this is actual pieces of sweet potato and broc, instead of all just mushed together.
I’m not eating meat right now either so recipes like this have become weekly meals!
Broccoli just makes a soup as far as I’m concerned. This looks fantastic!
This looks exactly like something I make for Berlin often! She pretty much only likes broccoli (as far as the green stuff goes), so it goes into every dish! 🙂
Well, that’s better than not liking greens at all! My daughter is now in that phase, but she did eat this. My son loved it! He is now OVER that phase and is so proud that he ‘eats everything now…every green stuff!”
That is an interesting mix. i have never mixed sweet potatoes and broccoli. It must be delicious
It’s an odd pair but they taste great together!
I eat a TON of vegan food during the week and this looks like something I’d definitely eat! Really yummy and vibrant recipe! Thank you!!! Pinning!
Thanks so much for pinning and sharing!
Who doesn’t love sweet potatoes? It got great taste and
pairs well with practically everything!
This sounds interesting, not sure the kiddos would be particularly fond of it though.
Well, most kids don’t care for broccoli! Mine love sweet potatoes so they did eat this!
I use coconut milk in a LOT of different dishes but nothing like this before. I might have to give it a try!
Me too, I can’t get enough of it!
Oh man this looks so good! I love a nice hardy soup.
This looks so tasty. I didn’t know that you can use sweet potato in a soup. I might try your recipe someday.
I actually prefer sweet potatoes to regular potatoes. I also find that when I defrost soup, sweet potatoes maintain their texture much better than regular potatoes.
This looks amazing i am excited to try it. Sweet potato and broccoli are two of my favorites.
Mine too! They’re delicious together!
Love Broccoli. This would be great for those chilly days.
I think my favourite way to have broccoli is in soup!
That looks very yummy. I love Broccoli a lot! This would be perfect for the whole family.
That sounds so good. My sister in law is a vegan and always looking for new recipes, so I will be sure to share.
Thanks for sharing!
Omg this looks absolutely delicious!!! I’m all about sweet potatoes so I’m definitely going to have to pin this 🙂
This looks great!! I have never had sweet potatos before I need to try them out!
A few people on this thread have commented that they’ve never had sweet potatoes before…they’re delicious! You should also try roasting them in the oven with a touch of nutmeg or cinnamon! Yum!
This looks delicious!! I love broccoli, sweet potatoes and adore coconut milk. I have never tried all of those together, but I am planning to give this a try. I think the kids would love this soup as well!
I love all of them seperately too…so I figured why not try them together?!
So normally, I’m not a huge fan of sweet potato, but this looks delicious. I definitely have to save this and try it sometime.
You’re the only person I know who doesn’t like sweet potato…usually it’s broccoil, lol!
What a great recipe! It’s so hearty and delicious looking. Thanks!
I’m not ( yet ) vegan, but I’m seriously considering working my way to be one either this year or next year. I’m curious about putting sweet potato and broccoli together. I can tell that this looks good and smells good – never fails with coconut milk.
I’m not 100% vegan and the process to get where I am was gradual. I feel so much better eating clean foods 90% of the time!
