Running out of things to eat until your next grocery shopping trip can be a nightmare. I love a fridge over flowing with food. With very little left I it was a case of making do and I concocted this very quick and easy soup.
Ingredients (vegetarian, makes 2 servings)
1 large sweet potato
2 tbsps. of creamed coconut
3 cups of almond milk
Bake a sweet potato and scoop out the flesh or leave the skin on if you like your extra fibre like me. Add the sweet potato flesh to a blender along with the almond milk and coconut cream and blitz together until well combined. Either heat the soup up on the hob or in the microwave.
It really is as simple as that!
After baking the sweet potato in the microwave this soup was virtually ready in minutes. It’s a great one to make if you forgot to pack your lunch the night before and are stuck for what to eat. It takes the same time to make this soup as it does a green smoothie. Plus it makes 2 servings so there is plenty left for when you are pushed for time on an other occasion.
What are your favourite go to meals when your cupboards are almost bare?
This sounds incredible! Perfect combination!
@Christina It’s really tasty!
Haha you know I’m ALL about easy potato soups! 😉 This looks wonderful, Jemma!
@Liz Thank you 🙂
Yum simple and delicious! I would probably just make oatmeal or a salad if the cupboards were a bit bare, that hardly ever happens though thankfully, my fridge is almost always overflowing!
@Lauren I love an overflowing fridge. I somehow feel at a loss when it’s not full.
That looks so yummy!
@Claire Thank you!
Love the combination of sweet potato and coconut! This soup sounds fantastic. I’m not all that creative when I don’t have much to work with and usually end up turning to cereal to tide me over until I can stock up on groceries.
Cereal is always a great back up plan!
This sounds good – almost like dessert! I actually quite like it when the fridge looks a bit bare, you have to get creative.
Yes you have no choice but to be creative. It makes it more fun!
Looks like a great meal for when the cupboard’s bare, you haven’t got the time faff with lots of ingredients, and you want warming up!
Hahaha, that is a very good point! It kills 2 birds with one stone there.
