Well, winter weather has been off to a slow start this year, but this week my cold weather soup cravings have finally kicked in. Each year when the thermometer drops, I start wanting soup pretty much on a daily basis. This year my yearning for hot liquids has taken on epic proportions and I find myself wanting soup or tea at every meal.

Since I am not a bed-ridden mental patient, I attribute these urges to going Paleo. Starting each day with a bowl of steaming, delicious bone broth has created a monster.

In order to keep the beast fed, I have been creating Paleo-friendly soup recipes like crazy. When my cousin raved about this wonderful sweet potato and peanut butter soup, I knew I had to try it.

One of my favorite flavors is a coconut milk and peanut sauce found in Thai cuisine. I would eat it constantly before peanuts were a no-no. Plus I’m pretty sure it has sugar in it. Oh no!

This soup seemed to have those flavors combined with my beloved sweet potato. I was immediately in love!

Sweet potatoes I will admit are becoming an addiction but as long as I don’t turn orange, I see no reason to slow down (I write this with a mouth full of sweet potato chips, please don’t judge). Enjoy!
