Creating this delightful soup requires only a handful of simple ingredients that you might already have in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
Preparing the Cozy Sweet Potato Carrot Blend is as simple as it is delicious. Follow these easy steps to create a bowl of warmth and comfort:
- Heat the Oil
- In a pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté the Onion and Garlic
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables
- Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and sliced carrots, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. This helps to release their natural sweetness.
- Combine with Broth and Spices
- Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the cumin and paprika. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are well distributed.
- Simmer the Soup
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Mash for Texture
- Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the vegetables slightly for a cozy, rustic texture.
- Season and Serve
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
