Sweet Potato Soup

40 minutes

Sweet potato puree soup is a delicate and warming dish from Japanese cuisine, perfect for cozy evenings. Sweet potatoes naturally pair well with carrots and leeks, creating a rich, velvety flavor. Grated ginger adds spiciness while garlic deepens the aroma. Flaxseed oil and seeds enrich the soup with healthy fatty acids, making it not only tasty but also nutritious. Historically, such soups were part of the traditional Japanese diet known for its balance and naturalness. This puree soup is served with crispy garlic croutons that complement its texture. It is great for a light dinner or as part of a healthy diet, providing comfort and satisfaction without heaviness.
