Can u substitute a sweet potato for a white potato in a soup recipe?

I know this is old, but try white sweet potato. Not as sweet as the orange, but not bland like the white potato. I'm actually working on a recipe right now myself.

its kale detox soup

I personally wouldn't exchange it but if u want to switch it up. Maybe butternut squash?

Sweet potatoes are of course sweet and are have a lot of fiber. The texture may be mealy. Personally I would not exchange sweet for white. And there are a lot of wonderful recipes specifically for sweet potatoes/yams that would be great.

I think it would be fine

Thanks!

Thank you! This particular recipe calls for all the ingredients to be blended in the end. I'll skip the grains this time but I like the idea for next time.

Also you could omit the white potato totally, or add some kind of grain.

A good question for yourself is whether you would add carrots to this. Both would add sweetness not in line with the original soup. If sweet tones wouldn't bother you, then go ahead. But of the idea of carrots grosses you out in the soup, omit the sweet potato.

It's a spinach and zucchini soup -- veg broth based.

I think it depends on context and application. What kind of soup? While a sweet potato would be totally incongruous in something like a white clam chowder, in a tomato-based veggie soup, it might actually be fresh and interesting, given its sweetness.
