Notes

    • To Store. Sweet potato soup tastes better the next day! Refrigerate for 2-3 days.
    • To Freeze, it's best to do it right after cooking. Let the soup cool, then transfer to airtight containers and freeze for 2-3 months. When reheating soup after thawing, you may need to add more liquid.
    • If you want this soup to be thicker, use coconut cream instead and less broth. You can make a cornstarch slurry and add it in the end, simmer until thickened.
