This soup is literally Fall in a bowl. It’s super creamy and satisfying and just everything you could want on a crisp, cool Fall day.
It’s loaded with nutrients thanks to its sweet potato base and it uses almond milk instead of heavy cream so it fills you up without weighing you down.
The velvety smooth sweet potato layer is perfectly offset with the crispy roasted brussel sprouts and toasted almonds and the flavors go so perfectly together.
This will be a perfect dish to serve up using Thanksgiving leftovers! We always have baked sweet potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts on hand after our Thanksgiving feast making it the perfect way to reuse leftovers.

Hello Caitsplate:
Your Creamy Sweet Potato Soup was a big hit in our house. We have named it “Thanksgiving Soup” as it smells (and tastes) like Thanksgiving!
Thank you for sharing…delicious and easy to make!
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for letting me know! 🙂
How many servings does this make?? I didn’t see it in the recipe!
It makes 2-4 servings (depending on how big your serving is for each bowl). If you’re serving it alongside a meal, it should make 4 servings but if you’re eating it as a main dish, about 2 🙂
