Recipe Description
Zucchini and sweet potato soup might just be my most favorite soup. In addition to being easy to make, the soup has great flavor and sweetness from the sweet potato and the raw cashews make it hearty and thickness without adding cream.
This is my go-to easy soup when I want an easy dinner, or just a very tasty soup, this is it. Along with the sweetness of the potato, another ingredient that gives the soup an extra flavor boost is fresh basil that takes the flavor to a new level. A drizzle of basil oil at the end is a perfect complement to this.
