Savory Sweet Potato Soup
This savory sweet potato soup is not only a great way to use up some leftovers, it’s super delicious and packed with health benefits. 
Those sweet potatoes that you baked for the big dinner and had extras leftover are the perfect base for this soup. Grab your saucepan and find out how easy this soup is to make!
There are only four main ingredients in this soup. The steps are simple enough you can whip this soup up for a weeknight supper no matter your cooking skill level. Honest.
If you can smash a potato and open a can, you’ve got this!
This dish relies on #ConvenienceCooking ingredients and uses only one pan, for your clean up simplicity. I love one pot dishes!
This soup is made in your medium sized saucepan, and there’s no other dish involved, so the dishwasher will love this soup as much as I do!
Turmeric and sweet potatoes go hand in hand. The flavors are so complimentary to each other. The bonus is that both ingredients are super healthy!
Sweet potatoes are packed with Vitamin A, which your body needs for good vision, immune system strength and a healthy reproductive system. Beta Carotene is another benefit of eating sweet potatoes. They are loaded with this antioxidant.
Turmeric is a anti-inflammatory and helps increase the antioxidant capacity of our bodies. That is a win, all around. Turmeric also helps increase brain processing and lowers heart disease risk.
Make It a Meal:
Serve sweet potato soup with a side salad or a sandwich for a light supper. If you’re making this soup for lunch, just add some crusty bread or a hearty roll.
