Roasted Sweet Potato Soup

This is the perfect soup for cold weather!

This may be a difficult recipe to make down to align with template servings (i.e. for one serving of carb you will have 1.4 servings of fat.) You can either just go with higher carb for consuming this or you can play around with the amount of coconut milk added to reduce the fat. Either way, it will be delicious and a nice, hearty soup for the cooler temperatures (depending on where you live!)

Inspired by Whole 30

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds/675 grams sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ½ -inch pieces
