About

An exotic blend of creamy sweet potatoes with a kick of hot sauce and some coconut milk to mellow it all out. It’s a delicious soup that uses fall produce, so when we eat it, we’re in harmony with the natural cycles of our environment. Thanks to my sister-in-law, Janine Solarsh, for sharing this recipe with me, all the way from South Africa.
