Sweet Potato Roots
I grew up with Thanksgiving dinner always having a dish of Sweet Potato casserole at hand, complete with roasted marshmallows. It sounded so bizarre to my French Canadian husband and he never quite adapted to my love of marshmallows atop veggies, hot cocoa, or the gooey drippy s’mores I crave in camping season.
My health has caused me to adjust my sweet tooth slightly, so I am discovering new ways to create healthy versions of the foods I crave!
This BEST EVER sweet potato coconut soup combines the rich and savoury flavours of fall with a dash of sweet creaminess! It is DELECTABLE!
And it is SUPER easy to make!
Keep it Simple
With seven kids, I am into making dinner as simple and delicious as possible…in that order. |
This BEST EVER sweet potato coconut soup has only 5 FRESH Veggies and Coconut Cream to explode it with flavour!
- Sweet Potatoes
- Carrots
- Spinach
- Green Peppers
- Onion
- FULL FAT Organic Coconut Cream
What could be simpler than that?!
Do you worry about the “health” side of FULL fat coconut cream? Be encouraged! Coconut cream offers us one of the most spectacular ways to get some of the healthy fats to make our skin and inner health shine forth. It also is shown to improve brain function, boost our metabolism and protect us from infection (something we could all use more of this time of year especially!).

A Pinch of This, and a Dash of That
No soup is complete without a little serious seasoning. But even here, I like to not complicate things. I use what I keep on hand in my cupboard, but keep in mind the importance of having a few staples ready to go when the ‘call to cook’ awakens.

- Garlic Powder
- Cumin
