Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground pepper
3 ½ cups lower-sodium vegetable or no-chicken broth
1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated mashed sweet potatoes (about 3 cups) or 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen diced sweet potato or 2 (15-ounce) cans sweet potato puree
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, ginger and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broth, sweet potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (If using frozen diced sweet potatoes, you may want to puree the soup, using an immersion blender, until smooth, about 3 minutes.)
Meanwhile, stir parsley, walnuts, mint, orange zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl.
Divide the soup among 4 bowls and top with the gremolata.

Tip

For the best flavor, toast nuts before using in a recipe. To toast chopped nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
