How To Make Loaded Sweet Potato Soup (step-by-step)

1. Gather your ingredients. You’ll need: butter, onion, celery, minced garlic, sweet potatoes, vegetable stock, Bolthouse Farms Original Plant Protein Milk, salt & pepper. Toppings include: shredded cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, plain Greek yogurt & sliced scallions.

2. Bolthouse Farms Original Plant Protein Milk is an all-star in this recipe. It adds a rich creaminess to the soup with a touch of sweetness. It’s a fully plant based milk, and it can go head to head with any milk out there thanks to a generous 10 grams of protein (which comes from peas!) per serving.

3. Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium-high heat.

4. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.

5. Then add the celery and sauté for 5 more minutes until softened.

6. Add the garlic and cook a minute more.

7. Add chopped sweet potato.

8. Add the vegetable stock.

9. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

10. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.

11. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup.

12. Or purée the soup in a high speed blender.

13. Continue to heat on medium.

14. Add the Bolthouse Farms Original Plant Protein Milk to the pureed sweet potato soup.

15. Season with salt & pepper.

16. Top with desired toppings & enjoy!
