Ingredients- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/3 small onion
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 200ml – 300ml milk (for consistency adjustment)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the main ingredients for the soup: sweet potatoes and onion. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel the onion.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to finely chop the sweet potatoes and onion. You can chop them by hand, but for an even smoother texture, consider using a blender or food processor. Finely blending the sweet potato and onion will result in a much creamier soup.
Step 3
Heat a pot over low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Sautéing the onion well will bring out its sweetness and deepen the flavor.
Step 4
Once the onion is softened and sautéed, add the prepared sweet potatoes and cook together with the onion for another 2-3 minutes. Sautéing them together will enhance the sweet potato’s flavor and enrich the soup’s taste.
Step 5
Pour in 200ml of milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and soft. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook gently. If you have an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. If not, let it cool slightly and then transfer it to a regular blender to blend. Adjust the consistency by adding up to 100ml more milk as needed.
Step 6
Add 1 slice of cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper to taste to the smoothly blended soup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency. Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor and finish.
Step 7
Your warm and creamy homemade sweet potato soup is ready! For an enhanced taste, consider serving with croutons or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
