Sweet potato soup is incredibly versatile—keep things sweet and smoky with carrots and coconut milk, or take a spicy twist with jalapenos and chipotles. One of our favorite sweet potato soup recipes uses parsnips and apple cider to create an incredibly comforting dish, perfect for cozy fall nights. A dash of green Tabasco sauce adds a little smokiness, and diced green apples and parsley make a fresh, fragrant garnish. If you have any leftover roasted, diced sweet potatoes, add them to vegetarian chili or turkey soup for a sweet, satisfying bite. Here, our best sweet potato soup recipes.

This silky soup gets its smoky sweetness from pureed chipotle peppers, a Mexican staple, and the surprising addition of apples. "This is real comfort food for me," Sue Torres says. "I love that it's creamy without containing any cream."

Inspired by Caribbean callaloo, this tropical, coconut-milk-spiked soup can be mildly or wildly spicy, according to your taste. If you like it hot, add some or all of the jalapeno seeds or a splash of Tabasco sauce.

Sweet potatoes are a great source of beta-carotene, essential for vision. The soup uses only one cup of the ginger broth; the rest makes a terrific cooking liquid for grains like quinoa.
