    I have been making a version of this soup at least once a week. So I figured an official recipe was long overdue. The broth is savory and comforting. The sweet potatoes are boiled until tender and the whole thing is served up with vermicelli rice noodles. A super delicious vegan dinner that makes great leftovers!

    How to make the broth

    Start out by heating some oil in a stock pot. Cook down the garlic, green onion, shallot, ginger powder and red curry paste for a couple of minutes. Add in the broth, coconut milk, peanut butter and soy sauce. Carefully drop in the cubed sweet potato and bring it all to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender - approx. 20 minutes.

    For the noodles

    Like I mentioned, I used vermicelli rice noodles for this recipe. They are my favorite noodles to use in soup. I prefer to cook mine separately - this will ensure they don't absorb the broth and they won't be overcooked for reheating leftovers.

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. They take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Drain them and add them to each bowl as you serve it.

    How to serve Sweet Potato Curry Noodle Soup

    Right before serving add some lime juice and fresh cilantro to the broth. Ladle some broth & potatoes into each bowl. Add some noodles and top it off with green onion.

    When it comes to variations, you can easily change up this soup depending on what you have on hand. Here are some of my favorite things to add:

    • tofu
    • greens - spinach or kale
    • frozen gyoza

      I made this a few days ago and really enjoyed it, as did a very picky eater. I didn't bother peeling the sweet potatoes, because I don't mind the peels and they have fiber in them. This recipe was easy to put together, and I can tell it is going to be something I make on a very regular basis. Thank you so much for putting it together.

      This sounds divine!

      What would you recommend using in replacement of the peanut butter? I'm allergic.

        Tahini would be a great sub!
