This Sweet Potato Soup with Peanut Butter and Coconut Milk is a unique twist on an old favorite, sweet potato soup.

Hi everyone! I’m Anne from Anne’s Healthy Kitchen. I’m really excited to be a guest on Tiffany’s blog because I love her approach to food and her delicious clean eating recipes.

I have lived and traveled in many different countries and experienced many very different diets; what they had in common is exactly Tiffany’s clean eating approach. Using fresh, real food to cook simple, colorful and tasty meals.

Today I want to offer you this recipe I created that replaced our sweet potato and carrot soup family favorite. This is my new version of Sunday night’s family soup! Even my 4-year old, who is not a big fan of soups, absolutely loves this one.

I am European and peanut butter is an exotic ingredient for me. I love it together with coconut milk, as a sauce for sautéed vegetables like in Indonesia. And I love the nutty taste it imparts to this soup.

It is very easy to make; you can adjust the quantities of both peanut butter and coconut milk to your own taste. You can also add some chipotle pepper for a spicy touch and a smoky taste.
