I just want you to know I have made this roasted sweet potato and quinoa soup every fall for the past few years and it has remained my all-time favorite no matter what season!! The panko topping is fabulous, too. Thank you so much for sharing it.

I made this last night for lunch today, and it is SO YUMMY WOW! I find it is less a soup and more of a quinoa dish but I do not mind!

Love love love the sound of this soup! I love quinoa and never would have imaged you could add it to soup too – brilliant! I’m renting an apartment in Malaysia now and there’s no oven so I won’t be able to roast the sweet potato but perhaps I’ll just try to sautee it first instead!

Thanks so much for the recipe – I made it tonight and it was delicious! I added just a tiny bit more chicken stock (only about 4oz) because my potato was huge. I just may make a double batch next time and freeze some. Yum-o!

OMG this soup is out of sight delicious!!! And it couldn’t be easier to make. As if that isn’t reason enough to enjoy it, think of all the Vitamin C, B-6, Potassium and fiber in the yams and the protein punch from the quinoa. Love the Panko topping, too. Genius recipe!

Thank you for this recipe! I came across it about three weeks ago when I was looking to use ingredients I had on hand. I knew it would be good, but I was surprised by the depth of flavor — it was DELICIOUS! This is a recipe that we will use often during the cold winter months.

This soup was DEEEELICIOUS!!! A few little adjustments like doubling the chicken stock and quinoa and using half yams and half sweet potatoes mixture and threw in a few spices. It’s a definite keeper!

Wow this is good soup! I found it on Pinterest. I haven’t made the Panko topping yet but I can’t wait! I added a little thyme in rosemary to my soup because I think they complement the sweet potatoes well. Thank you for the recipe!
