Adding coconut milk instead of heavy cream or regular milk makes this dairy free sweet potato soup as well, so this is perfect if you want easy vegan soup recipes for holidays! They are mildly sweet, but the soup I made is not sweet since I also used black pepper and red chili pepper to make it quite spicy. If you don't want the soup to be spicy, reduce the amount of both black pepper and red chili pepper powders or use just one of them preferably black pepper powder.
I used coconut milk to add flavor to the soup and I also used sesame seeds to add crunchiness. The addition of chopped garlic makes this soup perfect! Adding sesame seeds give crunchiness to the soup, but it is completely optional you can omit this if you don't want it.
The soup is vegan and you can adjust the flavors and spices and make it your own. So here is how I made this delicious vegan soup from sweet potatoes following this easy vegan sweet potato soup recipe.
