Ginger Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Soup



Today felt like having some soup and the only things in the fridge were sweet potatoes, onions and cauliflower so I turned it into a soup.


Ingredients for the soup.  Soup can be vegan by using water or vegetable stock





Add chopped onions to the melted coconut oil in stock pot



Add sweet potatoes and cauliflower once the onions are softened.




Add the cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and seasonings.


Add 1/2 carton of the stock and bring to a boil


Once a boil is reached, reduce the heat and add the can of coconut milk.


Once the veggies are tender, puree the soup.  taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.


Serve the soup in a bowl and enjoy !

Once the veggies are tender, remove the cinnamon sticks and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.  Or allow to cool and puree the soup in a blender.
