Soup season is ramping up, and this Cozy Coconut, Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Spiced Soup is like Fall in a bowl. “This soup is both light but still tastes so satisfying and creamy (without the cream!). Kids love it because it’s got a sweet and cocanutty flavor and I love it because I can sneak some super foods into what they’re eating without an argument,” says Katie Witten, the mom and recipe creator behind Witten Kitchen.
Short on time? Katie says to just poke holes in your potato and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften. And for picky eaters, reduce the spices – or even eliminate the ginger, cumin and all space and try two teaspoons of cinnamon instead.
