A sweet, coconutty, golden-hued carrot and sweet potato soup to make your day a little cozier. No squash needed for that sunshiny color, and no aromatics either—just a pinch of curry powder and creamy coconut milk to bring it all together. Simple. Quick. Cozy. So much flavor for so little effort.

Let’s talk about soup.

Specifically, a vibrant, sunshine-orange, looks-like-squash-but-is-100%-not-squash carrot and sweet potato soup.

I know what you're thinking: squash soup! You and everyone else.

But nope. Not a single sneaky cube, not even a rogue spoonful hiding at the bottom.
This one’s for all the squash skeptics out there (including that one family member whose pumpkin skepticism is legendary—you know who you are 😄).

Ingredients for This Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup

Carrots + sweet potatoes = that gorgeous color and a cozy, naturally sweet flavor.

Coconut milk makes it creamy. A little curry powder and ginger bring just the right amount of warmth and zing.

No onions. No garlic. Not forgotten ... just left out. This soup shines on its own.

We sauté the veggies, simmer everything till soft, blend it all up with an immersion blender, aaaand done. Creamy golden goodness with minimal fuss.

But Isn’t That Basically Squash Soup?

Kind of. But also… not.

Sure, the ingredients are similar: coconut, curry, ginger—it’s a familiar crew. But squash has a more vegetal flavor, while sweet potato is ... just sweet. Like, really sweet.

Plus, this carrot and sweet potato soup skips the aromatics that are always part of a squash soup to let that sweet potato sweetness and spice combo do its thing.
