This creamy sweet potato soup is the perfect comfort food for the colder season. Not only are sweet potatoes cheap, you can usually buy them all year around at your local farmers market.
I tried sweet potato soup last year for the first time in my life and was blown away by the flavor. So I experimented to make my own and it turned out very delicious. The taste is quite similar to butternut squash soup so if you like that, try the sweet potato one. It is a little faster to make because it is much easier to peel and cut sweet potatoes than a squash. You will still need a very sharp knife. If you don’t already have one it is one of the best investments you can make to facilitate your cooking experience.
I am originally from Germany and a lot of our food is based on potatoes, which used to be one of my favorite foods! Unfortunately I cannot eat it anymore because it is a nightshade vegetable, which is excluded on an autoimmune protocol. Luckily I discovered sweet potatoes (which are not part of the nightshade family) when moving to the USA. They kind of saved my life and if they aren’t part of your diet yet, you should try. For example with this delicious creamy sweet potato soup.
This recipe makes for a very creamy and sweet in taste soup. Feel free to add more coconut milk or the milk of your choice if you prefer your soup less thick.
