My new nightly staple: hearty, vegan, sweet potato soup. The spices will fill your kitchen with the best aroma. I hope you give it a try on your next chilly evening!
Vegan Sweet Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion, diced (about 3 and 1/2 cups)

- 1/2 tbsp. paprika
- 1/2 tbsp. corriander
- 1/2 tsp. ginger, ground
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne
- 2 large sweet potatoes, chopped (about 8 cups)
- 7 medium carrots, diced (about 2 cups)

Instructions
- In a large soup pot, cook the onion, shallots and garlic over medium low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

Notes
Topping ideas: sliced avocado, cilantro, jalapeños, or my No Guilt Nacho cashew "cheese" sauce.
