This soup is vegan and so flipping yummy.
You can modify it with more or less of any of these ingredients. I always find that is the way with soups. You can’t really ruin them unless the lid falls off the salt or something! Even then, just keep adding more broth!

Wild Rice and Sweet Potato Soup

Jill
This is a hearty soup that could be a full meal.  If you’d like, you can add meat like chicken or sautéed shrimp.  Without adding meat, it’s vegan…Who even needs meat anyway? Save the cute little Cows and Chickens.  Make this soup!!!

    Hello there!

    Recipes that I can’t ruin, I am here for all of those!

    Since I moved here from Mexico ruining food is my biggest fear every time decide to step foot in the kitchen and I start cooking something; the hardest adjustment I had to make in the cooking department was learning to use the salt (and the portions needed) here in the U.S., my first year food was either flavorless or too salty… I’m getting better though.

    Or maybe I just need to have a couple of pounds of salt shipped from my hometown where we only use sea salt if we can because we live 40 minutes away from where they produce it and you find it literally everywhere.

      Haha…seriously. Salt may be the one way you CAN ruin the soup. That’s the ingredient you have to get right! I happen to like way too much salt. Luckily it has not affected my blood pressure…haha!

        Hi Jill!

        I made the soup today too!, prepping for the rest of the week. My husband approved (and he is the pickiest man alive when it come to food) and because we like spicy food i bought a spicy Old Bay seasoning which made it even more perfect.

        We will be eating healthier food for lunch today thanks to you!

        Best,
        Angelica V.

          XO Jill
