EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP

Easy Creamy Sweet Potato Soup image

This is one of my signature dishes. I made this recipe when I was 12 years old. If you want to use potato instead of sweet potato, replace the coconut milk with cow's milk. Add your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor, or just prepare it as stated.
