Cream of sweet potato might just be my favorite — served hot or cold. Whenever we BBQ during the summer I throw a couple sweet potatoes on the grill just so that I can make this soup.
Cream of sweet potato soup (dairy free)
Serves 2-3
Ingredients
2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (about 2-3 potatoes)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced OR 1/2 tsp. ginger powder
1 tbsp. peanut butter OR almond butter OR coconut butter
1 1/2 cups almond milk OR coconut milk
pinch of salt
Throw 2-3 sweet potatoes on the BBQ (wrapped in foil) or preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Wash the sweet potatoes, place them on the baking sheet and bake them in the oven until they are tender all the way through (a fork should go right through the potato).
Peel the skins off the potatoes. Put all ingredients into a blender (sweet potatoes, garlic, ginger, peanut butter, almond milk, and salt) and blend until smooth. Add almond milk if you desire a thinner consistency.
The goodness doesn’t stop at the soup.
Take a couple of ingredients out of the soup (almond milk and garlic), put some sweetness and cinnamon in the soup, and (shake it all about) you have an amazing sweet potato .

Question –> Have you used maca powder before? This was my first time using it. It has an interesting taste, which is difficult to explain. I don’t like the flavor by itself but it tastes fine when combined with other ingredients. Some research studies have shown that Maca has favorable effects on energy and mood, may decrease anxiety and improve sexual desire (can I get a woot woot for the last one). Anyway, the research is still limited just as it is with almost any plant or herbal remedy so use at your own risk muahahahah….
