Make this sausage soup for a healthy Whole30 dinner!

Winter is soup season. From about September to April I always make at least one big pot of soup each week.

This sweet potato curry soup is the perfect blend of two of my favorite things: creamy coconut curry and a hearty meat soup! Add in some cubed sweet potato and this is pretty much a bowl of all of my favorite things.

What kitchen tools do you need to make this Sweet Potato and Sausage Curry Soup?

I love how easy it is to make this healthy Whole30 soup. You do not need any fancy gadgets to put this together in less than an hour.

You will need a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife for preparing your ingredients. And some measuring spoons and measuring cups to measure the ingredients.

Other than that you will need a large stockpot or dutch oven. I have been making all of my soups in this dutch oven this fall and I LOVE it.

What ingredients do you need to make this sweet potato curry soup recipe?

  • Garlic cloves
  • Yellow onion
  • Avocado oil
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Ground pork
  • Coconut milk
  • Vegetable broth
  • LOTS of warming and comforting spices!

Can I make this coconut curry soup vegetarian?

Yes! You can easily make this dish vegetarian or even fully vegan by swapping the ground pork for a plant based ground meat substitute.

Many brands now have vegan crumbles that would work perfectly in place of the ground pork in this recipe.

If you love curry flavor, try one of these other flavorful recipes like Shrimp Curry, Pumpkin Coconut Chicken Curry, or Butter Chicken.

Let’s make some Sweet Potato and Sausage Curry Soup!

Step 1 – Prepare the sweet potatoes

To begin, prepare your ingredients. Peel and cube sweet potatoes, dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2 – Sauté and brown the pork sausage

Then, heat the dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the oil, onion, and garlic.

Sauté until soft and fragrant. Then, add the ground pork to the pan and brown the pork.

Finally, add the spice mixture to the pan and stir it in completely.

Step 3 – Simmer the sweet potato curry soup

Next, add sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, and coconut milk to the pot and stir gently.

Then, bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.

Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 4 – Enjoy!

Finally, remove the soup from the heat. Allow the soup to cool slightly, garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy!

Can I just use curry powder to simplify this sweet potato soup?

YES! You can use curry powder to make this recipe even easier!

The seasonings that I listed here are very similar to a curry powder mixture. You can use about 2 tbsp of curry powder and some extra salt.

Can I freeze this sweet potato and sausage curry soup?

Yes! Allow the soup to cool fully and then store in airtight containers with a little extra space. Soup will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Did you add yogurt for the photo? Or is that extra coconut milk that you put on top?

    Do you have any suggestions for making this in the Instant Pot? Sounds delicious!

      I would use the saute function to saute the veggies and brown the pork. Then add everything else, seal the lid, and pressure cook for probably 10-15 minutes? I haven’t tried this, but I bet it’d work just fine!

    Is it possible to add rice to this? Would I need to cook it longer or add more chicken broth?

      Hi Kate! Since this is already a thicker soup I would say cook the rice separate and mix it in at the end for best results. If you cook the rice in it I worry the other parts won’t cook properly.

    YUM! Filling and comforting. Be sure to eat while snuggled beneath a blanket. I’ve made it according to recipe and another time adding in kale to amp up my greens. Really great and importantly (as someone cooking for 1) froze well.

    Really enjoyed this! I did add a chopped red pepper just before adding the spices and added some chopped spinach at the very end. The colors were gorgeous!

    I have mild Italian sausage on hand, would that work okay do you think instead of the plain pork? Thank you! Can’t wait to make this!

    Yum! This is an amazing and hearty soup- the flavors are perfect for winter! I love that it can stand alone as a meal- and the flavors are so unique. Best part is I have all the ingredients in my pantry and don’t need to do a big shop to make it. Highly recommend.

    This is the 3rd recipe I make from this site this week (!) and it did not disappoint! I love how simple and hearty this soup was- the fact that they are healthy and have leftovers is an added plus! I also appreciate the creaminess because I don’t eat dairy! Added cabbage because I have a lot in my fridge and it was a good addition.

    I made this earlier this week and it was simply delicious! I used chicken broth instead of veggie broth (because that’s what I had) and I used curry powder instead of cumin and cinnamon.
    Thank you for posting this!
