How To Make Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple Soup

Whether you make it in a large stock pot on the stove or let it simmer away in your slow cooker, this soup will become one of your go-to recipes during the fall and winter months. It’s a healthy recipe that doesn’t compromise on flavor, making it a win-win for the entire family.

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the sweet potatoes, apples, and onions to a large mixing bowl and toss with the maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Make sure everything is evenly covered.
Spread sweet potatoes, apples, and onion on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes. The sweet potatoes will only be slightly tender.
Transfer roasted vegetables and apples to a large pot, Dutch oven, or large saucepan.
Add minced garlic and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have a stick blender, use a regular blender or food processor instead.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.

Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme.

Slow Cooker Instructions

This recipe is similar to my Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Soup, but it’s much lighter and has a tangy essence from the apples.

Place the cubed sweet potatoes, apples, chopped onion, and minced garlic in your slow cooker.
Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vegetable stock.
Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add some remaining stock or water to reach your desired consistency if the soup is too thick.
