    Instant Pot Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup - Ruchiskitchen

    Need a warm and comforting soup in a hurry? Then this nutritious Instant Pot Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup is all you need. This feel-good soup is made with simple pantry ingredients, and dinner is ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes! 

    Instant Pot Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup - Ruchiskitchen

    How’s your February going? For us, it has been the snowiest February ever. So far we have experienced – snow days, school cancellations and the ‘Polar Vortex.’ Temperatures have dropped below 0 degrees F for six long days, and it’s bone-chilling.  

    To beat this winter chill, we have been craving for warm bowls of comfort. Thinking of warm, what could be better than a hearty bowl of soup that is loaded with the good stuff? So, here is the perfect recipe that hits the spot – Instant Pot Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup.

    The Instant Pot has been the savior at this time. In between snow cleaning and shoveling, I would dump everything in the pot and come back to a delicious and flavorful soup that required just a gentle blend. That’s it, healthy soup packed with wholesome ingredients is ready to be slurped on. I can seriously eat up the entire pot…it tastes so good! 

    Thai Sweet Potato Carrot Soup Recipe- Ruchiskitchen

    Ingredients required for Instant Pot Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup!

    Here’s what you’ll need –

    • Sweet Potatoes – Sweet potato lends a spectrum of flavor and texture to this soup. It’s the starch in sweet potatoes that helps to create a smooth and velvety consistency in soups. They also have a low glycemic index that means it will keep your belly full and happy for quite a while.
    • Carrots – is a rich source of Vitamin A, minerals, and fiber. It aids in digestion and helps to detoxify the body.
    • Coconut Milk – adds a luxuriously creamy texture to the soups. For non-vegan version use regular cream.
    • Red curry paste – gives a warm, spicy, and flavorful taste. 
    • Fresh Cilantro – lends an earthy taste that takes the soup to a whole new level.
    • Spices – cumin seeds add an earthy, yet smoky flavor and crushed red chili flakes spice up the soup. 

    From flavor to texture, this soup has it all!

    HOW DO YOU MAKE CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP?

    This soup is made with real food ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry or fridge. 

    Begin by sauteéing onion, garlic, and ginger. Then add the spices, the sweet potato, and carrots. Pour in the coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, cilantro, and vegetable stock. Seal the Instant Pot and pressure cook for 12 minutes. When the time is done, allow the pressure to dissipate naturally. Open the Instant Pot and use an immersion blender and mix until the soup is smooth and thick. 

    This soup will thicken up as it cools so adjust the consistency of the soup to your liking. Feel free to add some extra vegetable stock until the consistency you want is achieved. Taste the seasonings and adjust accordingly. This soup gets its creaminess from sweet potato and coconut milk, therefore, no flour or cornstarch is required to thicken the soup. 

    This soup can be enjoyed alone as is but I prefer to pair it with a slice of crusty bread and quinoa salad for a delicious and healthy weeknight meal.

    Can this recipe make a big batch?

    Of course! If you need to serve this soup to a large crowd then you can either double or even triple the recipe to feed a large group. You can either make the original recipe in several batches or merely change the serving size below to suit your preferences. The best thing about this Creamy Sweet Potato And Carrot Soup is that it freezes beautifully. So you can make big batches of this soup and freeze in an airtight container. You can never go wrong with this delicious bowl of soup.

    RECIPE NOTES

     
    Very adaptable Recipe!
    This soup can be easily adjusted to suit your preference –
    • Like the soup spicy, then add a teaspoon of sriracha to the simmering soup.
    • Feel free to add extra spices like cinnamon or rosemary to the soup.
    • Veggies like zucchini or bell peppers will add extra nutrition. 
    • Cilantro leaves can be interchanged with fresh basil leaves. 
    • Sweet potatoes can be swapped with regular potatoes, butternut squash or any winter squash or even pumpkin.
    • Don’t have an Immersion blender – now worries. Allow the soup to cool slightly. Now ladle the soup into a blender. Blend until smooth.
    • To make sure your Thai curry paste is vegan – double check before buying. I have used Thai Kitchen Brand red curry paste, and it is vegan.
     
    For the cooktop method- 
    • Heat oil in a pan, add onion, garlic, and ginger to it. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the spices, sweet potatoes, carrots, cilantro, red curry paste, coconut milk, and stock to the pan.
    • Cover the pan and lower the heat to the medium setting. Allow it to simmer for 30 -35 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender. 
    • Blend the smooth with an immersion blender until smooth.

      I’ve had my Instant Pot for a year now and I’ve not made soup in it yet. This soup looks amazing and this recipe will be the first in my IP! Love that you told me I could use cream instead of Coconut Milk…I’m allergic to allergic milk! And – this freezes well! Yeah!! So healthy! Thanks for an awesome recipe!

      Our February was cold and windy, and March is starting out the same way. So I need all the warm and cozy soup I can get. This one looks so thick and creamy, and I love that it comes together in the Instant Pot!
