Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes Soup Recipes Vegetable Soup Recipes Sweet Potato Soup Recipes Sweet Potato & Ginger Soup 4.4 (5) 3 Reviews 4 Photos This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches. Recipe by Jim Grant Published on March 9, 2020 Save Saved!
