This Creamy Sweet Potato Rosemary Soup is total comfort food. It is easy to make and really addictive!
I love everything sweet potato. I usually have some stocked up.
One thing that I love about sweet potatoes is that they are said to decrease inflammation. Whereas other potatoes are part of the nightshade family, which are said to cause inflammation.
For this recipe I have used light colored sweet potatoes as well as orange varieties. The light colored sweet potato has a milder flavor than the orange ones.
You could use either one. When I updated this recipe I used one of the orange varieties since they seem to be more popular.

How to Make This Recipe
Soak cashews to soften them. In a pan, sauté onions in olive oil. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.....

Let soup cool. Pull out rosemary stem. Blend soup with cashews and coconut yogurt if using.
Can I Freeze This Soup?
- Make sure to let the soup cool completely before placing in a freezer bag or air tight container.
- Liquids expand as they freeze, so don't fill containers or bags all the way full. For freezer safe containers, leave about an inch of space from the top. For freezer bags, fill about ¾ the way full. Let out as much air as you can, and lay flat in freezer.
- Don't forget to label your bag or container with the date, or if you prefer, the date it should be eaten by. You can keep soup in the freezer 4-6 months, but flavors in the freezer start to fade around 2 months.
- When you're ready to eat, let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in a saucepan or microwave.
