There's nothing more comforting on a snow day than a bowl of soup.

Every winter, I spend countless delicious hours preparing bowls upon bowls of soup often creating novel recipes using whatever I have in my cabinets. Today, I'll be sharing one of my easiest & most beloved recipes.

For this recipe, I had 4 ingredients; sweet potato, coconut milk, vegetable stock & salt.It's literally that simple, irresistibly delicious & filling when paired with a roasted garlic crostini.

Ingredients for the Sweet Potato Soup

• 5 small sweet potatoes or 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup of Coconut Milk 
• 1.5 cups of vegetable stock ( or chicken stock, up to personal or dietary preference)
• Salt, to taste.

Ingredients for the Roasted Garlic Crostini (Optional)

• 1 french baguette
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Steps for the Sweet Potato Soup

• In a pot of boiling water, cook the peeled and quartered sweet potatoes. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, until tender.
• Once the potatoes are tender, add the potatoes to a blender ( I've used a hand blender) and add 1 cup of veggie (or chicken) stock.

• Blend until smooth.
• Add sweet potato puree to a small pot or saucepan and simmer on low heat.
• Add an additional half cup of stock and simmer on low heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the 1/4 cup of coconut milk.
• Stir until blended.
• Add salt to taste.
• Serve immediately.
• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.

Steps for the Roasted Garlic Crostini (optional)

• Cut the baguette into small pieces & set aside.
• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut & discard the top layer of the garlic bulb, place in foil paper, cover in olive oil & close the foil.
• Roast for 30 minutes.
• Toast the crostinis and smear with the garlic spread.
