My daughter, you know the one, the one who challenged me to Whole 30, recommended I make this Sweet Potato Soup. I’m sure glad I listened to her, it was delicious! It’s W30 approved, but I know I’ll be making this again soon, even when I’m not participating in W30. Sweet Potato SoupYou’ve got to love a soup that has just a few ingredients and cooks start to finish in about thirty minutes. I was only missing one ingredient that I had to add to my shopping list. Fresh ginger. I knew I could substitute ground ginger, but there is just something about the taste of fresh ginger. I’ll freeze the rest of the ginger root for another time.

As you can tell by the color of the soup, I used the light (or white) sweet potatoes. I prefer them to the dark orange sweet potatoes, so if they’re available, I always go white. Looking at this white bowl of soup, in hindsight, the orange potatoes sure would have made for a prettier photo. Oh well, the flavor was there! A topping of fresh cilantro or parsley is optional, but I had to add a bit of color 🙂

    This sounds really tasty. I personally love sweet potatoes. The ginger sounds like a wonderful idea. I can’t wait to try this, I could use some extra warming with our sub-below weather we are getting here in Maine.
