Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Japanese Sweet Potato, medium size, 180g
  • ½ Onion
  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Bouillon Powder, 5g
  • cups Water
  • 1 cup Soy Milk
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the onion thinly.  Peel and cut the sweet potato into small pieces. Soak the sweet potatoes in water for five minutes, then drain.
  2. Sauté Onion: Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the sliced onion over low heat until tender.
  3. Simmer: Add the sweet potato, water, and bouillon powder to the saucepan. Cover, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until tender.
  4. Blend: Transfer the soup to a blender, add soy milk, and blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Finish: Return the soup to the saucepan and season with salt. Turn off the heat just before boiling. Serve in a soup bowl, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Transfer the soup to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for 3 to 4 days.
  • Japanese sweet potato skins are edible and packed with nutrients like other sweet potato varieties. While I usually cook them with the skins on, I peel them for this soup recipe to achieve a smooth, creamy white color.
  • Soaking sweet potatoes helps remove any bitterness and prevents them from changing or darkening in color.
  • 1 cup: 240ml
