Warmly spiced with a delicate sweetness, Creamy Curry Sweet Potato Soup is a yummy bowl of deliciousness. Sweet potatoes and coconut milk bring just the right amount of sweet to balance the onions, garlic and spices in this rich creamy soup. Use a hand masher for a chunkier soup and add chicken, beef, lamb, lentils or chickpeas to make heartier stew. Pairs well with a sandwich or salad. Top with croutons, sour cream or yogurt for added texture and flavor.
