Fall is here and our team loves soup season! Sarah Canfield, a Nutritionist here at The UltraWellness Center, shares her recipe for Gut Healing Sweet Potato Soup.  

Sweet potatoes are rich in antioxidants and a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Ingredients

• 5 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes 
• 1/2 tbsp grass fed ghee 
• 1 tbsp minced garlic (optional for low-fodmap)
• 16 oz. grass-fed/organic bone broth
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp curry powder 
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper 
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder (optional) 

Directions

• Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Steam in a pot with 1″ of water for about 15 minutes or until tender (can also use instant pot and pressure cook 5-10 minutes). Drain the water. Set aside. 
• In the same pot, heat ghee and garlic until fragrant.  
• Add in sweet potatoes and all other ingredients and stir. Simmer for 10 minutes.
