Creamy Sweet Potato Soup

"This healthy creamy, mildly spicy soup can be served as a main course with toasted baguette slices or in small portions as a first course before an elegant dinner. If you want to make it spicier, add some chili flakes. For an extra hint of protein, add 1/4 cup of red lentils to the chicken stock."

  1. Tried a similar soup at a restaurant recently and was looking for something similar. WOW this is delicious. So sweet and spicy. A real winter warmer. Definitely be making this again. I didn't have any Italian curry paste so I just omitted it and I used vegetable stock instead of chicken. But it was all good even the fussy MOTH loved it.
