Creamy Sweet Potato Squash Soup

Creamy Sweet Potato Squash Soup!

This Creamy Sweet Potato Squash Soup is the ultimate cozy and comforting winter meal. Sweet potatoes, butternut squash, apple, and coconut milk are blended together to make a thick and creamy soup, perfect on it’s own or great served with some warm bread, rice, or a side salad. This soup is seasoned with fresh garlic and ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and turmeric, creating a perfectly seasoned soup.

This soup is vegan and gluten-free. It is packed with many nutrients that our bodies need during the winter months. The squash and sweet potato provide tons of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which are both antioxidants that are needed to support our skin during the harsh winter months and our immune systems. Topping this soup with some pumpkin or sunflower seeds adds a little crunch and some plant-based protein.
