Ingredients

- Chicken or vegetable broth (as much as you like, I used less than one carton)
- Olive oil

Directions:
- Begin by cutting the sweet potatoes into chunks and slicing the carrots. Quarter the onions and chop the end off the garlic, leaving the peel on. Season with a pinch of salt, drizzle some olive oil, and pop them in the oven until the veggies are tender. You can cover them with aluminum foil if you want.
2. Once all of your veggies are soft, transfer them to a blender. And remember to squeeze the garlic out of its peel when adding it to the mix.
3. To your blender, add a splash of broth, and start blending away. Keep adding broth until you achieve that silky smooth consistency you desire.
4. Grate a little bit of nutmeg into the mix for that extra dash of flavor. You can add as much as you like according to your personal preference.

Storage Instructions:

Variations:
Have you tried my effortless Butternut squash soup? If not go check it out. It is very similar to this recipe, but instead of sweet potatoes I use butternut squash. It is also comforting and delicious just like this one.
Equipment
All you’ll require is a reliable blender to achieve that velvety smooth texture and a baking sheet for roasting the veggies. Keeping it fuss-free ensures you spend more time savoring the results and less time on cleanup.
Troubleshooting
If your soup turns out too thick, simply add a bit more broth until you reach your desired consistency. On the other hand, if it’s too thin, you can pour it into a pot and simmer until it thickens up.
One more thing: This soup is incredibly easy to make. The trickiest part is cutting the carrots to the right size/thickness. Carrots take longer to cook than sweet potatoes, so to ensure everything is done at the same time, you must cut them into thinner slices or give them a head start in the oven. If you prefer not to do either, just add them to a separate baking tray. This way, you can take them out of the oven without risking burning the other veggies.
