This leek sweet potato rosemary soup is addictive.

In fact please forgive me now if I repeat that several times throughout this recipe.

It's just that it's really difficult for me to get over in words how tasty this leek sweet potato soup recipe is.

It's the addition of rosemary takes this basic leek and sweet potato soup recipe to a whole new level of flavour!

And ever since I first tasted it. I made it my mission to recreate it as soon as I could. And that's exactly what I've done here.

You know me folks, I’m always jotting down recipe ideas from places that we’ve been to or great foods that we’ve tried. That’s where a lot of my recipes and/or inspiration to create them comes from.

I first had leek sweet potato rosemary soup when we were away on our holiday trip in Glencoelast year. Ah, such great memories!

You see, this was one of the delicious lunch soups on offer at the Glencoe caféthat I had whilst we were there. I jotted it down then. It’s just that it’s taken me a year to get round to recreating it.

It’s hard to describe the delicious aromas that permeate your kitchen when you make this leek, sweet potato rosemary soup. Especially the part where you add the rosemary. I highly recommend you try it for yourself, even if just to experience those wonderful smells!

So today this leek sweet potato rosemary soup becomes one of our favourite soup recipes that we’d like to share with you. I really think you’ll enjoy this, especially its simplicity. I’m only sorry it’s taken so long to get it to you!

You know, I’d never even heard of or seen a sweet potato until about seven years ago!

I was brought up on ordinary white potatoes. They were the only kind available here in Scotland. Plus, conveniently we lived near to a farmer family who we were friendly with, where we could buy huge sacks of white potatoes at a low cost!

Nowadays I couldn’t see myself living without having sweet potatoes at least once a week in some shape or form.

It’s funny how things change isn’t it? I mean all sweet potatoes used to be imported from the U.S. and Africa, but now they’re being grown in the U.K. for the first time too. Particularly because of their popularity.

There’s also the added nutritional benefits. For example, sweet potatoes have a lower GIrating and are lower in calories too than the traditional white potato.

I couldn’t, and wouldn’t give up ordinary white potatoes though. I mean my Scottish leek and potato soup and easy Scottish lentil soup recipes are still an absolute staple!

But, there is just something particularly addictive about that creamy sweet consistency you get from sweet potatoes, don’t you think?

You’ll see what I mean when spoonful’s of this leek sweet potato and rosemary soup start slipping down your throat. I need to warn you again though, this soup is addictive! 🙂
