Rich, thick and with a definite kick of spice, this Thai Style Sweet Potato Soup is a wonderful meal by itself! Smooth and velvety, this will be a favorite!
Now that cooler weather is on its way for MOST people (I live in AZ, this won’t happen for awhile), I wanted soup. But not just ANY soup, one that I’ve made for years, and has a spicy and interesting kick to it.
Growing up in New Zealand, in particular, Auckland, I was exposed to many cultures and cuisines. It’s kind of a melting pot, and I love the diversity of food available there. Thai food is a particular favorite of mine. The flavors are vibrant and amazing.
We eat this with some fresh Maple Oat Skillet Bread and call it dinner. It’s SO good!

Where to find the curry paste?
Red curry paste can be found in the international aisle of most grocery stores in the US – and it really is essential to this dish.
How to make Thai Style Sweet Potato Soup:
- Roast your sweet potatoes and onions with some oil and brown sugar.
- When they’re done, add them to a large pot with the curry paste and ginger, and cook a little.
- Add the stock, and blend.
- Add the coconut milk, and blend.
- Finally, add whatever greens you are using (cilantro, green onions etc)
- Devour.
