Description

Here I share my basic sweet potato soup with you. You may alter the flavor profile of this soup by changing the spices. You may also consider adding an apple to enhance flavor or using vegetable broth instead of water. Check out the suggested topping for serving, you can use one or more of these or add your own favorite toppings to the soup. You may find the  Gomasio recipe in our  March 2021  recipe booklet and cashew cream recipe in the September 2021 recipe booklet.
