Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned. Shake the tray halfway through to ensure even roasting.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the pot with the sautéed onions and celery. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the ground nutmeg. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of extra nutmeg or a swirl of cream if desired. Serve with crusty bread or your favorite side.
Enjoy your Roasted Sweet Potato & Nutmeg Soup as a delightful starter or a satisfying main course.
