- Soup is gluey.
- Over-blended. Sweet potatoes have starch; too much shearing force creates a gummy texture.
- Flavor is bland.
- Roast the veggies first! Caramelization adds depth boiling can't match.
Creamy Coconut Sweet Potato Soup
The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes is perfectly balanced by the heat of ginger and earthy turmeric. This soup is not only a mood-lifter with its color but a nutrient bomb thanks to beta-carotene and healthy coconut fats.
