Coconut Sweet Potato Soup

Chilly nights are the perfect excuse to curl up on the couch with a delicious, hearty bowl of coconut sweet potato soup!

I am a huge fan of sweet potatoes. They’re high in anti-inflammatory benefits, rich in magnesium, and are known to help boost the immune system. Sweet potatoes have been said to be cancer preventative, and can even help aid cold and flu symptoms, which is needed more than ever in the winter months. They even have some beauty benefits and are said to be good for healthy hair and a glowing complexion—who doesn’t love that?! Aside from all of the powerful benefits of eating this orange superfood, they taste delicious when pureed into a soup. I love adding coconut milk into this recipe because it creates a thicker soup, while adding a slight, yet perfect amount of delicious sweetness. These are the months to experiment with soups, and they’re a tasty way to get the entire family in on some vegetable fun without realizing they’re eating pure nutrients. So cozy up with this delicious Coconut Sweet Potato Soup on your next chilly night!
