Looking for a delicious sweet and spicy soup to warm you up? This curried sweet potato soup is the one.

About the recipe

I made a delicious curried sweet potato soup that looked so good as it was cooking that I doubled the recipe so we could have leftovers. No surprise we liked it, given that it has all the Indian flavors that our family loves like ginger, garlic, onions, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder 😋.
