Innovative Purple Sweet Potato Soup Recipe for a Cozy Winter Evening

Innovative Purple Sweet Potato Soup Recipe for a Cozy Winter Evening

May 26, 2025 Written by Charlotte

Welcome to my Unique Cuisine Kitchen!

Today, I am excited to share a one-of-a-kind recipe that I recently created for a cozy winter evening at home. This dish combines unexpected flavors and textures to create a truly unforgettable dining experience.

For this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • purple sweet potatoes (300g)
  • coconut milk (200ml)
  • cardamom pods (3)
  • star anise (2 pieces)
  • pistachios (50g)
  • lemongrass (1 stalk)
  • maple syrup (2 tbsp)

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • saucepan
  • blender
  • strainer

Begin by peeling and chopping the purple sweet potatoes into small cubes. In a saucepan, combine the chopped sweet potatoes, coconut milk, cardamom pods, star anise, and chopped lemongrass. Allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove the cardamom pods, star anise, and lemongrass from the saucepan. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove any fibrous bits.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir in the maple syrup. Cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To serve, ladle the purple sweet potato soup into bowls and garnish with crushed pistachios for added crunch.

This unique dish weighs approximately 700 grams in total and serves 4. Each serving weighs around 175 grams and has an estimated calorie count of 200 calories.

One unusual tip for this recipe is to add a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice before serving to brighten up the flavors and add a refreshing kick.

I encourage you to give this unconventional dish a try and make it your own by experimenting with different toppings and spices. Enjoy the process of creating something completely new and unexpected in your own kitchen!
