Roasted Apple Sweet Potato Soup with Candied Pecans
Welcome to another Friday Feels where I share what I’m “feeling” this week. This post may contain affiliate links.
Hey guys, I have a super easy, yummy soup recipe for you all today. It has been freezing here in Michigan, and it even snowed on Halloween, so I’m in full on comfort food mode over here. This Roasted Apple Sweet Potato Soup is quick to put together and you probably have all the ingredients on hand.
Basically you chop onions, sweet potatoes and apples. Toss them in some olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt and pepper. Roast it all in the oven and blend it up!
Side Note: I make this same exact recipe, but add chicken sausage to the mix and then don’t blend it up and just eat it as a sheet pan meal. So good!
Back to the recipe. You can be fancy and top this with creme fraiche and spiced pecans or eat it straight out of the blender.
Side Note 2: Double this batch of pecans, because they are delicious on their own and a great addition to a cheese plate, or you may eat half of them straight off the pan like me ;)

I also wanted to mention a few housekeeping things here on the blog.
- I finally got my font color switched to black! I know lots of you have been having issues reading the gray and every time I fixed it, it somehow reverted back. I should not be allowed to use technology. Thankfully my tech guru fixed the issue.
- My commenting section was broken and I didn’t realize you all weren’t getting my responses emailed to you! So that’s fixed, but if you were waiting for a response from me, check back on that post. I really try to answer everyone!
- I’m trying to get better about listing every single source that I can and I also added a “Shop our Home” page here on the blog. I’m slowly adding to it everyday, but if you are looking for something in our house that’s a great page to check out.
- I also added a New Home Tour page to the blog so if you are new here you can go back and see all the rooms at our new house that I’ve revealed so far.
That’s all I got today, have a great weekend!
I made the soup and I do not cook! It was a hit.

So great to find a blogger from right here in Michigan :) The soup looks delicious, and I look forward to trying it. Thanks!
Hello fellow Michigander, this is perfect for this freezing weather!
Where do you use the cayenne in the soup or with the candied pecans??
In the pecans, sorry just edited the recipe.
Are you sure it isn’t desert?
The roasted onions gives it a nice savory flavor :)
The soup looks so yummy and easy. Can’t wait to try it!
It’s a nice cozy meal thanks Madeline!
The soup sounds absolutely yummy!! I’m pinning. And let me say that my old eyes are grateful for the change — thank you!! Hope your weekend will be warm and rain-free — ours is cold and rainy!! ?
Sorry it took me so long to figure out the font :)
I am so grateful — but your font doesn’t have to be quite that dark :-)
