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.
Another sweet potato recipe to try is my Chipotle Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Cashews: Only raw cashews will work. Roasted cashews will not work in this recipe. You could also use raw macadamia nuts or raw sunflower seeds.
- Onions: Adds a sweet pungent flavor. I used a yellow onion, but a white onion or sweet onion will also work.
- Olive oil: To cook the veggies. Any neutral high-heat oil will work.
- Garlic: Adds a pungent flavor.
- Sweet potato: 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.
- Vegetable broth: I used low-sodium vegetable broth because I like to control the amount of sodium.
- Rosemary: I used fresh rosemary for this recipe, but dried would also work.
- Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
- Vegan yogurt: Adds a tangy flavor. I used unsweetened plain vegan coconut yogurt. You could leave it out.

❄️ Can I Freeze It?
- Make sure to let the soup cool completely before placing it 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 the freezer.
- Don't forget to label your bag or container with the date, or if you prefer, the date it should be eaten. 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.
