As soon as October rolls around, pumpkin recipes start getting all the attention. I’m here to remind you that the humble sweet potato is just as versatile, hearty, and delicious!
Potage is basically just a thick soup and this one is downright tasty! It’s loaded with seasonal veggies, a beautiful spice mix, and creamy, dreamy peanut butter. This recipe has a mild spice that will accommodate all diners but if you’re serving spice fiends, feel free to increase the cayenne and garnish with hot sauce.
This potage can be eaten on it’s own but it’s even better when served with a grain and topped with chopped peanuts and fresh herbs.
