Heading down south to the land of the pines, Iโ€™m thumbing my way into North Caroline.

. . .

Seriously…Iโ€™m en route North Carolina! My friend, Sandi is getting tied to the hitching postโ€ฆsaying some vows, doing the nuptials, getting married!

Sandi and I lived together for three years in California and then she decided to return home to North Carolina. It wasnโ€™t on account of my cooking I can tell you that, hardy har har!

Letโ€™s all hike up our britches and wish Sandi Lou and her honey comb the best of marriages ever (can you tell how good I am at this stuff?

Probably fortunate she didnโ€™t ask me to make a toast, huh? Huh?).

So real quick: roasted sweet potato soup. It’s so easy to make, very comforting, and nothing but great for you! It takes the chill off of a cool autumn or winter’s eve. Plus it tastes real nice!

Iโ€™ll be blogging atcha from North Cackalacky. . .even when Iโ€™m away, I just canโ€™t stay away.

Questions and Reviews

    1. Hi Lori!

      My apologies – the recipe should be 1 large sweet potato, which equates to about 2.5 cups when mashed/pureed. Let me know if you have any other questions! xo

    1. Hi Amy! I’m so glad you like the soup. I’ve never tried freezing it, but I imagine it would work. I’d just recommend freezing it without the quinoa just to be sure nothing funky happens ๐Ÿ˜‰ Let me know if you try it!
