    Tips, Tricks, & Variations

    You can turn this into a Sweet Potato Carrot soup by simply swapping the gold potatoes for sweet potatoes. Everything else stays the same!

    You can use a store bought veggie broth for maximum convenience - or try making your own homemade vegetable stock.

    This soup can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or up to 4 months in the freezer. If freezing, wait to add the coconut cream to the recipe until after thawing the soup.

    I used heavy cream in this recipe. But if you would prefer a vegan version, you can also use coconut cream. Please note that coconut cream and coconut milk are not the same ingredient! So check the label carefully.
