Tipps

Picking Sweet Potatoes

Choose firm sweet potatoes with smooth skin. They should feel heavy for their size and not have any cracks, bruises, or soft spots.

Storage

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove until warmed through.

Blending

Ensure to let the soup cool down a bit before blending to avoid potential accidents. Also, if using a regular blender, remember to blend in batches.

Enhance the Flavor

Play with the amount of turmeric, salt, and pepper to get your desired taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavors further.

Fresh Broth

For maximum flavor and control over the histamine content, consider making your vegetable broth at home.
