Sweet Potato Soup for Fall

Fall. My favorite season. Not only is it scarf, skinny jeans, and boots weather, it’s also the perfect excuse to have spiced foods that are rich in pumpkin, sweet potato, cinnamon, and   apples.

Mmm, delicious.

To kick off the season, I’ve whipped up this super easy soup that you can eat now or freeze for later! It’s rich and creamy without any added cream. The spice from the cinnamon is warm as it goes down and after you swallow, you get a kick from the cayenne pepper. A match made in heaven, if I do say so myself!

So, go on, make this soup and tell me what you’re looking forward to this fall season!

And once you make it, does it not taste like sweet potato fries!?!?
