There is no better way to celebrate National Soup Month than with a bowl of this chunky, comforting Sweet Potato Soup.
There really is nothing like a bowl of soup on these cold days and nights.
I had some baked sweet potatoes that needed to be used so I thought, “why not make soup with them?” and soup it was.
The days may be cold but the spirit is bright with the warmth of knowing spring is just around the corner.

I don't always agree with National so and so months, Catherine but, I must admit, they sure did get it right proclaiming January National Soup Month, whoever they are, lol...
Your Sweet Potato Spoup looks lovely; warm and soul satisfying. I like that you added cannelini beans. I had some leftover sweet potatoes this week too but I made muffins out of them. I sure wish I would have thought to make soup! Next time. Perhaps next month when it is National Sweet Potato Month, lol...
Thanks for sharing, Catherine...

We adore soup, but this is one I have never heard of! I am guessing it is so much healthier than regular potato soup.

Dear Catherine,
This soup looks very comforting and I am sure has a marvelous flavor. Never made a soup with a sweet potato before. Your ingredients are a great combination. Love the beans and the ginger. Soup is very enjoyable especially with a piece of bread or when you just want to warm up your body, mind, and soul! Thank you for sharing.... Have a blessed Wednesday night!
Dottie 🙂
