Spring Lemon and Herb Soup with Sausage and Sweet Potato

Spring Lemon Herb SoupSpring Lemon Herb Soup

Spring? Are you there? oh wait, no, it can’t be you. It’s snowing. AGAIN.

Nevertheless, I refuse to let snow stand in the way of me and spring. SPRING VIBES all around with this Lemon and Herb Soup. Made with sweet potato, sausage, rice and loads of fresh herbs you can’t help but feel spring in the air. This soup also makes the perfect transition from those snowy cold, by the fireplace days to the warmer, sunshiny, want to spend all of my time outdoors in my garden days. It’s warming and grounding and yet still light and somehow refreshing.

Are you ready to give it a go?

Do you want a super easy, delicious soup that is perfect for snowy weather?

You have come to the right place!  Enter, Leek and Sweet Potato Soup. It is a soothing blend of leeks, onions, garlic and sweet potato and is whole30, paleo and vegan friendly.  Perfect to take to work in a thermos for lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.

SOUP you say! Didn’t I just post a soup recipe? Well, it was a stew actually but yes.  I hadn’t planned on making this recipe until I signed up for The Little Plantation‘s Food Photography Contest.  The first task was to take photos of onions and leeks (or something made from onions and leeks) and of course, being up for the challenge I made this recipe.  It was so easy and I loved it so much I decided to share it here!

Cobblers are officially my new thing.

And savoury cobblers are my newer new thing and basically what I am planning on eating ALL. WINTER. LONG.

Can you blame me with the creamy cooked winter vegetables and doughy biscuits? This is what my comfort food dreams are made of! (even if they are vegan and paleo comfort food dreams!)

GOOOOD MOOORNING interweb friends.

Let me introduce you to the best type of food. BREAKFAST FOOD.

Breakfast food, meet interweb friends. Interweb friends, meet breakfast food.

The reason breakfast food is so good is because you can have it for breakfast(duh), for lunch (three cheers for brunch!) or for dinner(who doesn’t love pancakes for dinner?!).

My favourite breakfast foods involve eggs. I like to dream up different ways to eat eggs and recently, I have been eating this Thai inspired sweet potato breakfast bake that is of course, Whole30 complaint.  Sound delicious? Because it is!

Tomato Coconut Soup with Sweet Potato Noodles (paleo, whole30)

Tomato Coconut Soup with Sweet Potato Noodles. Holy YUM.

So, I couldn’t really decide what to call this soup. It kind of has that tom yum or hot and sour soup vibe but without the spice.  It is also kind of like a ramen wannabe because there are lots of fresh veg and egg packed on top. However, the broth is a tomato and coconut base with lime juice and coconut aminos giving it a unique, zingy flavour.  And despite all of the things you can compare it to, the one thing I know is that it is delicious my friends. So yes, call it what you want, I will just stick to delicious.
