This creamy sweet potato soup, is loaded with veggies and makes a hearty meal for the cooler weather.
A quick scan of the weather channels will tell you that although its Spring, it’s pretty cold outside! Even here in Florida the weather has been chilly, so I took what is probably my last opportunity until fall and made soup. This creamy blend of sweet and russet potatoes, carrots and onion was a huge success = toddler approved.
Anytime I hear “um” followed by a smile I know I’ve found a winning recipe, she ate a whole bowl and still asked for more. If the temperatures outside have you wanting some soup or you’re looking for a good way to get your kids to eat their veggies I highly recommend this soup. Stay warm and cozy, I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe!
