This nourishing soup has all the right ingredients to help you fight back against winter’s worst chilling days and everything that comes with it. Healthy and absolutely delicious, this soup surely has become a family favorite.


It has just the right amount of heat from freshly minced ginger. The sweet note comes from the sweet potatoes, apple, carrots and coconut milk. It’s subtlety perfumed with spices like nutmeg, cinnamon and curry. This delightful combination of flavors is what makes this soup so satisfying, luscious and just so tasty. Seriously, one of the best soups I’ve ever made.
