Sweet Potato Soup

Curried Sweet Potato Soup with Medicinal Mushrooms

The Best Curried Sweet Potato Soup

It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s New England! Over and over again we hear confusion on what to eat when the weather takes us for a spin. In general during the heat of Summer when Ojas is on the decline it’s important to consume light and easy to digest, cooling, sweet foods in the heat of the day. However we all know a rainy cool day can create a swift shift in the system. Not only outside but in our body as well. So what do we do? Whip up some curried sweet potato soup![/vc_column_text]

On cooler denser days we like to keep things light, but gently warming.

Curried root vegetable soup with in season medicinal or wild mushrooms (be sure to check your forage guides) are a favorite in our home. This recipe packs a punch of digestive and immune support along herbs and spices to make everyone feel warm, light and happy.
