  • Pour over the 750ml boiling water and bring the pan of soup to the boil, then reduce the heat to a rolling simmer, put the lid on a cook for 20 minutes.

Can you freeze sweet potato soup?

Our sweet potato soup is great for freezing so by all means make batches of this creamy delicious soup for the freezer.

To freeze sweet potato soup cool thoroughly, then store in freezer bags or air tight containers – label with the soup name and date of making.

I’m happy to keep this in the freezer for up to 3-6 months but it’s usually all used way before then!

When using the soup from the freezer, defrost thoroughly and properly and then reheat thoroughly to a minimum temperature of 75C for at least 5 minutes.

I use a food thermometer for checking the temperature of reheated food just to be on the safe side.

Soup Toppings

Soup toppings just make your soup that little bit extra special, extra tasty and nice to look at.

We’ve chose vegan soup toppings to keep the sweet potato soup recipe vegan.

  • Chilli flakes – add a little extra kick of spicy heat
  • Toasted sesame seeds – add a little crunch and extra taste
  • Toasted pine nuts – add extra crunch and extra protein
  • Chopped fresh herbs – I like coriander with our sweet potato soup, but it’s also lovely with chopped flat leaf parsley, snipped fresh chives, dill or even just a touch of sage leaves.
