Recipe Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Japanese Sweet Potato Soup:

• Japanese Sweet Potatoes: When selecting Japanese sweet potatoes, choose firm, smooth-skinned varieties with no bruises or soft spots. You can find them at Japanese grocery stores, Asian markets, or specialty food stores. Learn more about types of Japanese sweet potatoes here.
• Vegetable Bouillon Powder adds rich flavor and taste. You can substitute it with vegetable broth if you prefer.
• Soy Milk is my preferred choice. However, you can substitute it with other dairy-free options, such as coconut milk, almond milk, or even heavy cream, to add an extra creamy texture.
