Fall weather is made for soups, and this Sweet Potato Soup has all the earthiness and heartiness that you are looking for, while packed with nutritional goodness. It’s the coconut milk in this recipe that gives the sweet potato roundness and a velvet quality. It’s an aromatic combination that your kitchen will love. To add some zest to your bowl, try a sprinkling of Dukkah. It’s a Middle Eastern spice/herb/nut blend. You may find pre-made versions of Dukkah
