This is comfort food in a bowl! I’m a huge fan of butternut squash soup and know sweet potato has a similar flavor so I know I’ll love this! I can’t wait to cook this recipe up!

The first thing I have to say about this recipe is that the way you “decorated” the bowls is so beautiful! I made this over the weekend and it’s absolutely delicious. I was just testing the recipe out for Thanksgiving, so I didn’t decorate our bowls of soup, but I am totally going to follow your lead for our Thanksgiving guests and attempt to make every bowl as lovely as yours. 🙂

This soup is gorgeous! I love that you opted to add crunch with seeds rather than messing up a great soup with bread or croutons which is what we commonly see. Can’t wait to dig in!
