Perfectly smooth, wonderfully creamy Vegan Sweet Potato Soup with coconut milk and fragrant cumin. Quick, easy, healthy, and incredibly delicious—a winning combination for sure!
Accompaniments I've enjoyed for sprinkling and dunking:
- Vegan sweet potato biscuits
- Toasted pumpkin seeds
- Golden croutons
- No knead focaccia
- Quick yeast-free spelt bread
- No yeast white bread
- Crusty sourdough bread
Serve this soup for a simple lunch or dinner or dress it up with a swoosh of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh or crispy fried sage leaves and it's pretty enough to serve as an appetizer when entertaining.
Honestly, it's so simple that there is no good reason you shouldn’t go make it for dinner immediately. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Here is what you need at a glance, along with some important ingredient notes:
- Sweet potatoes - I recommend using orange-fleshed sweet potatoes in this recipe, not white-fleshed sweet potatoes. The appearance and flavor are way better.
- Cumin - This compliments the sweet potato beautifully. If you're not into cumin or don't have any you can omit it or use another spice like ground ginger, smoked paprika, or garam masala.
- Stock - Any will do but this soup is extra special when made with vegan chicken stock. I use Better Than Bouillon No Chicken to make it.
- Coconut milk - The flavor of coconut milk works well with sweet potato and cumin and gives the soup a really nice richness. If you can't use coconut milk use any other thick and creamy dairy-free milk or a plant-based culinary cream.
- Olive oil - I love the extra flavor some olive oil gives but if you want to make this recipe oil-free, saute with a few drops of water instead of the oil.
