Start by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes. It doesn’t have to be super small. Everything will be blended together at the end.
Place a soup pot over medium high heat and add the broth, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Boil the potatoes until they are for tender.
When the potatoes are cooked through, turn the heat off of the pot and add the milk. Using an immersion blender, blend the potatoes, broth and milk together directly in the pot until it is smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup of broth as needed to thin the soup out.
Once the soup is completely smooth, add in the red pepper flakes and taste for any additional salt.
Serve with fresh thyme leaves, pomegranate seeds, chopped salted pistachios and goat cheese.
