Last night, I created a deliciously simple sweet potato almond soup that warmed me up after my chilly walk home. Let’s just say that it hit the spot and paired perfectly with a side of grilled vegetables and tofu smothered with organic tomato sauce and sprinkled with nutritional yeast… delicious is an understatement.
Dig in, this is a tasty protein-packed soup with a nice dose of beta carotene that is sure to fill you up (and warm you up) on a chilly March evening.
A delicious gluten-free and dairy-free soup!

Awesome sounding recipe! I added lime juice and lite coconut milk to a kabocha squash soup last week and the lime juice totally brightens up the soup. Will definitely be giving this one a try!
