Here, I have for you comfort food in a bowl. This Sweet Potato Soup with Toasted Pecans is a warm blanket on a cold night; a warm fuzzy when you least expect it; a kitten curling up beside you.
Okay, yes it is September, and I have made a soup recipe. (I actually have been waiting to post this recipe since August.) This is a recipe reminiscent of Thanksgiving.
I am weird, alright. Yes, I make and eat soup in the summer, just like I wear black all year round.
I live in Arizona and get teased about that. When I am craving soup, no one can stop me.
Other recipes to try are my Candied Pumpkin Spice Pecans recipe or my No Bake Truffles made with pecans.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Add olive oil to a large pot on medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent.
Step 2: Add chopped apple, sweet potato, spices, and vegetable broth.
Step 3: Cook until tender. Let cool.
Step 4: Toast pecans in a skillet until fragrant.
Step 5: Add sweet potato mixture and toasted pecans to a high-speed blender.
Step 6: Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour it back into the pot to reheat.
❄️ Can I Freeze It?
- Make sure to let the soup cool completely before placing it in a freezer bag or air-tight container.
- Liquids expand as they freeze, so don't fill containers or bags all the way full. For freezer-safe containers, leave about an inch of space from the top. For freezer bags, fill about ¾ the way full. Let out as much air as you can, and lay flat in the freezer.
- Don't forget to label your bag or container with the date, or if you prefer, the date it should be eaten. You can keep soup in the freezer for 4-6 months, but flavors in the freezer start to fade around 2 months.
- When you're ready to eat, let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in a saucepan or microwave.
