This vibrant roasted purple potato soup is comforting and flavorful. Made with purple sweet potatoes, cauliflower, & carrots, but any color will work.
I’m that person who loves eating soup anytime of the year, but especially in the colder months when I spend most of my time wrapped up in a blanket (and in front of a space heater 😁). This purple potato & cauliflower soup is not only beautiful to look at, it’s chock-full of vibrant veggies and free of gluten, grains, & dairy. It’s vegan and paleo friendly too!
I knew I wanted to make soup when I saw these gorgeous veggies on my recent trip to the grocery store. I was hoping their color would keep after roasting and boiling, and boy was I happy when they blended into the loveliest shade of purple.
It’s so simple to throw together too, with roasting being the most difficult part of the simple process. However, if you’re pressed for time you can simply forgo roasting and just boil them a little longer. Serve as an appetizer or with some crusty bread or a grilled sandwich for a hearty meal. Feel free to use regular sweet potatoes/cauliflower/carrots if you can’t find the purple variety (it will taste the same).
I hope you give it a try! Don’t forget to tag me in your picture if you post on social media. Enjoy, friends!
