Purple Sweet Potato Soup | Purple sweet potato and sweet cabbage blend together for a beautifully creamy soup! 5 ingredients, vegan and so simple. Served with a quick tomatillo and avocado salsa! | simplytothrive.com

Nothing complicated. I love when only a few ingredients are needed to create a humble bowl of soup that simply glows in it’s vibrant color. like this Purple Sweet Potato Soup. I’m continually amazed by God’s beautiful creations and creativity – abundance here for our enjoyment and nourishment. Potato and cabbage. One of those very traditional duos, but this time with a twist. Steamed purple sweet potato and red cabbage blend seamlessly into a soup that is so creamy and rich it will fool you into thinking there is heavy cream added. But by lightly steaming to soften (yet preserve their nutrients) and blending them along with the help of my beloved versatile cauliflower, they transform into this silky smooth soup. A quick avocado and tomatillo salsa, pulsed with a pinch of cumin, contrasts with the smooth and mild soup by texture and flavor. Bits of tomatillo burst in your mouth, releasing their tart juice and carrying with it a slight smokiness.

How to make without measurements:

Play with the ratio of sweet potato, cabbage, and cauliflower depending on your preference. The potato and cauliflower will provide the creaminess.
After steaming, add to your blender and blend while pouring in water until you reach your desired thickness.
If you’re feeling adventurous, get creative with your seasonings! Add in small amount and taste as you go!
