This creamy carrot and sweet potato soup is a delicious way to include some nourishing bone broth in your diet. The sweet potato makes for a naturally sweet and luxuriously creamy soup, while the curry powder and cayenne add some heat.
This soup is elegant enough to serve at the start of a holiday dinner, but simple enough to whip up for a weeknight meal.
Curried Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup
The Players
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (where to buy coconut oil)
- 1 large leek (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
- 1.5 lbs carrots, peeled and coined
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (where to buy REAL sea salt from the U.S.)
- 1 tablespoon madras curry powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- pinch of cayenne
- 1 Japanese sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups coconut milk (where to buy chicken broth from pastured hens)
- chopped chives for garnish
- red pepper flakes for garnish
The How-To
- In a large pot, melt the coconut oil. Add the leeks and carrots, stirring often. Cook until the leeks are soft and the carrots are fragrant, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, salt, curry powder, ginger and cayenne, stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the sweet potato, coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the sweet potato is cooked through.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Garnish with chives and red pepper flakes.

Hi Stephanie! I am so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the soup! It is one of our favorites too!
This was fabulous! My three kids slurped it down. Didn’t have leeks so I subbed scallions. Also just used a regular sweet tater. Definitely a keeper.
I am so glad to hear that your kids enjoyed the soup!
Great article Arsy. I’ll most likely head out to the store and grab the ingredients for this today, looks delicious!
It looks so yummy!! I pinned it for later 🙂
Yes, it is always a joy.
Yummy
I was lucky – my girls liked all my soups. Favorites were potato soup (and it was never just potato soup) and a fabulous Italian sausage and cabbage soup. Dang – hungry for soup now. haha
This looks like a good soup, BUT. It would be great if people stopped sprinkling curry powder on every thing & calling it A curry or “curried”. It’s not. Curry powder does not equal curry. A curry refers to a particular kind of dish or a WAY of making the dish.
