This Sweet Potato Soup Recipe is amazing and healthy too! A lot of Sweet Potato Soup Recipes call for heavy cream and added sugar, which do not align with trying to eat healthy. Instead of adding those unhealthy ingredients, this Sweet Potato Soup Recipe puts a new twist on the traditional flavor by adding coconut milk and Thai green curry. These flavors go perfect together! My sister Becky LOVES Thai Green Curry and Sweet Potatoes – I can’t wait for her to try this – I know she will LOVE this Sweet Potato Soup Recipe too!

This is a vegan salad recipe is full of flavor! When I was visiting my sister at the Jersey Shore, we went to the Brigantine Farmers market on Saturday morning and I picked up some Jersey fresh sweet potatoes and tomatoes. I used these ingredients to make this delicious salad. The sweet potatoes come out crispy and are complimented by the tahini dressing and kale.
Sweet Potato Ingredients:
- 1 medium white sweet potato peeled and cut into small cubes (should be 1 ½ cups)
- 2 T olive oil
- ¼ teas salt
- ¾ teas cumin
- ¾ teas turmeric
- ½ teas crushed red peppers*
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- Cooking spray
Tahini Dressing Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic
- Handful of cilantro leaves (about ½ cup)
- ¼ cuo tahini (sesame paste)
- ½ cup water
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- ¾ teas cumin
- ½ teas salt
Salad Ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped kale
- 1 tomato seeded and diced
- 2 T finely chopped red onions
- ½ cup diced cucumbers
- ¼ cup chopped scallions (green parts)
Sweet Potato Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450.
- In a medium/large bowl, combine olive oil, sweet potatoes, and garlic.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, cumin, turmeric, and crushed red peppers.
- Then sprinkle contents of small bowl to sweet potato mixture bowl and combine.
- On a baking sprayed with cooking spray, spread out the sweet potatoes.
- Cook in oven for 20 minutes (taking it out halfway through to toss).
Tahini Dressing Directions:
- In a food processor, chop garlic and cilantro.
- Then add all remaining ingredients until well combined.
Salad Directions:
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Then add about 4 T of the Tahini Dressing and combine.
- Divide salad evenly across 2 bowls.
- Place ½ cup of roasted sweet potatoes on top of each.
- Drizzle a little more of the dressing on top of the sweet potatoes.
Notes:
While the sweet potatoes cook, you can do the tahini dressing and prep the salad.
You will have about ½ cup of sweet potatoes and some dressing left over – this is a great little snack for later (dip the sweet potatoes in the dressing).
If you do not like spicy, you can reduce or omit the crushed red peppers.
