Arracacha soup is a smooth root-vegetable soup made with arracacha, also called mandioquinha in Brazil. It is commonly cooked with aromatics such as onion and garlic, then blended; the root gives it a naturally thick, creamy texture.
To make arracacha soup, peel and chop the roots, soften onion and garlic in a pot, then add the arracacha and stock. Simmer until tender and blend until smooth. Season to taste; cream is optional.
Arracacha soup has a soft, starchy texture like potato soup, but its flavor is usually sweeter and more aromatic. Blending the cooked root makes the soup creamy without needing dairy.
No, arracacha soup is made with arracacha, not cassava. They are different root vegetables, although both can add body to soups. Their flavors are distinct, so swapping cassava for arracacha will change the result.
Yes, arracacha soup is naturally thick once the cooked roots are blended, so cream is not necessary. Use vegetable stock for a lighter version, or add a splash of milk or cream at the end if you prefer a richer finish.
A mix of potato and carrot is a practical substitute for arracacha in arracacha soup, though the flavor will differ. Sweet potato also works for texture, but makes the soup noticeably sweeter.
Yes, frozen arracacha can be used for arracacha soup, and you can cook it directly from frozen. It may release extra moisture, so add stock gradually and adjust the consistency after blending.
Arracacha soup pairs well with crusty bread, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables. Its smooth, mild flavor also works as a starter before a more substantial main dish.
Yes, arracacha soup can be frozen in an airtight container once cooled. Its texture may separate slightly after thawing, especially if it contains dairy; warm it gently while stirring, then blend again if needed.
Refrigerate leftover arracacha soup in a covered container once it has cooled, and reheat it thoroughly before serving. If the soup smells sour or looks unusual, discard it rather than tasting it.

Arracacha soup is a smooth Brazilian soup made by cooking and blending arracacha, a mildly sweet, aromatic root also known as mandioquinha or batata-baroa. Onion and stock are common additions; some versions include milk or cream, while others let the root’s naturally velvety texture do the work. It is especially familiar in Brazil, where the root is used in everyday home cooking.
Serve it hot as a starter or a light meal, with bread or a simple salad. Its calories mainly come from carbohydrates, and it provides little protein; a 100 g portion has 9.2 g of carbohydrates. For a lighter bowl, use vegetable stock instead of cream, and finish with herbs or black pepper.
