This soup comes to you by way of my non-vegan, non-GF Dad. I made this for a family dinner, and he was so impressed that he requested it a second night in a row. So those of you with plant averse friends, family, or kids – this is for you!
Sweet potatoes are a darling of the health food world, but for good reason. They provide a pharmacy’s worth of vitamins – A, C, B6, B2. You name it.
