This Thai-inspired soup boasts the classic and vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine, but has the wholesome and comforting sweet potato base we know and love. The creamy soup is delicate and smooth, making every spoonful a treat for your taste buds. If you like your soup less spicy, don’t add as many red pepper flakes. If you added too many red pepper flakes, add a little agave syrup to sweeten the soup.
