Ingredients

  1. 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  4. 1 medium onion, chopped
  5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 4 cups vegetable broth
  7. 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
  8. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  9. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  10. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  11. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  12. Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  1. Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. In a large pot, sauté onion in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add roasted sweet potatoes, white beans, and vegetable broth to the pot.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup for a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for texture.
  7. Stir in crumbled feta cheese, reserving some for garnish.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro and remaining feta.

Notes

  1. Substitute feta with vegan cheese or omit for a vegan version.
  2. Add kale or spinach for extra greens.
  3. Use smoked tofu or tempeh for additional protein.
  4. Spice it up with a dash of cayenne or chili powder.
  5. Serve with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
