In NY, it is freeeezing!
And it doesn’t help that I’m usually cold!
So, to help insulate my body from the inside-out,
I’ve been warming up with this simple, nutritious, hearty and filling soup.
Warm up your body from the inside-out:
– eat seasonal foods (hearty sweet potatoes)
– eat foods high in good fat (coconut milk)
– eat warming spices (chipotle)
It’s a healthier take on the potato skins with sour creams and chives.
Enjoy!
“Bacon” Sweet Potato Soup
Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes, sliced
2 cups water
olive oil
1/2 can coconut milk
1 tsp sea salt
(optional) 1/2 tsp chipotle
(optional) 2 scallions, sliced
1. Slice sweet potatoes and place on parchment paper (or tin foil) lined pan with olive oil and sea salt.
2. Broil on high for approx 7-10 minutes until cooked, then flip and cook for another 7-10 minutes
3. While sweet potatoes are cooking, in a pot, simmer coconut milk, water, onion and sea salt
4. When sweet potatoes are done, add coconut milk mixture and sweet potatoes to blender and blend it up until smooth! If you want it thinner, add some water.
