We had a big, beautiful, sweet potato leftover from making fries a while back. I decided to make this Roasted Sweet Potato and Quinoa Soup. My family loves my soup creations. Amber adores homemade soup any time of the year. She is not a big fan of canned soups, but put a bowl of any kind of homemade soup in front of her and she is very happy. Also, try our Sweet Potato Soup for a different version.
We had the little panko topping over at friends of ours, Deb and Dave’s, on a fabulous gazpacho soup, and I thought it would add something to this soup too! So easy to make and adds that extra oomph!!

Thank you for this recipe! I came across it about three weeks ago when I was looking to use ingredients I had on hand. I knew it would be good, but I was surprised by the depth of flavor — it was DELICIOUS! This is a recipe that we will use often during the cold winter months.

This soup was DEEEELICIOUS!!! A few little adjustments like doubling the chicken stock and quinoa and using half yams and half sweet potatoes mixture and threw in a few spices. It’s a definite keeper!

Wow this is good soup! I found it on Pinterest. I haven’t made the Panko topping yet but I can’t wait! I added a little thyme in rosemary to my soup because I think they complement the sweet potatoes well. Thank you for the recipe!

Hey Mary, I am so glad you made the soup and liked it. You do have to try that panko topping sometime as it is delicious!

Hi there, do you use sweet potatoes with the starchier yellow flesh and light brown skin, or, do you use what we in Vancouver call yams — waxier orange flesh, darker brown skin?
Thanks, look forward to trying this!
Noshing with the Nolands says
I use the orange fleshed yams. I hope you try it. I am making it again for our Thanksgiving table. Happy Thanksgiving!!
