With two + years of running Community Meal Prep Clubs under our belt, we have tried A LOT of different recipes.

And this one has been an all-around favorite. ☺️🧡✨

The Sweet Potato Soup from is made with golden sweet potatoes, vegetable stock (we make our own but you don’t have to!), onions & garlic, apples, ginger, warming spices, and finished with coconut milk.

Hard to believe it’s plant-based and gluten-free! 💫💫

We love cooking and donating meals made with the beautiful sweet potatoes from . 😍😍

Sweet Potato Soup 🍠🍠
GF/vegan

Ingredients
2 TB extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 medium sweet potatoes, 1½ pounds, peeled and cubed
1 apple, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp smoked (or sweet) paprika
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, reserve ¼ cup for garnish

Garnish Options: pepitas, fresh cilantro, Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes

Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, salt, and several grinds of pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes.

2. Add sweet potatoes and apple. Cook until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, and paprika and stir. Stir in apple cider vinegar and then 3 cups of the broth and the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

4. Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend.

5. Season to taste and top with a swirl of coconut milk and garnishes, if desired.

Notes: This soup thickens as it cools. If reheating it, stir in a little water to recreate a creamy consistency.

Thank you so much to , , and Dorothy Bergold for co-sponsoring a Community Meal Prep Club on Friday evening!

The event was hosted and supported by .rev in Stoneham. In a three-hour workshop, together we made *132 meals* for donation to .food.drive community freezer program.

We talked about how quality is just as important as quantity when preparing meals for our neighbors.

In this frigid weather, we planned a menu that warms the body and soul!

✨ Roasted Buttermilk Chicken with Potato Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Bake and Green Beans (GF)

✨ Sweet Potato Bisque (vegan/GF)

On a cold Friday night after a long work week, folks enjoyed small bites and a fresh lemon thyme cocktail provided by Mary from Stoneham Community Action Network. Teamwork at its best in support of a good time together!

Thanks again go to our sponsors and to each and every volunteer cook who showed up ready to support the community.

And shout out to for subsidizing the cost of some of the produce that we cook with at CMPC! 🙏🌱✨

So grateful for the opportunity to team up with the incredibly talented to capture the joy and spirit of Community Meal Prep Club!

Back in December, Brian joined us at an event that was co-sponsored by .talwar, her wife Madeline, and their friends and neighbors.

This fantastic crew made Baked Acorn Squash Stuffed with Greens and Sausage (GF), Sweet Potato Bisque (vegan/GF), Roasted Chicken with Potatoes, Veggies and Cranberry Compote (GF), and Apple Crisps.

We donated more than 100 meals to .food.drive community freezer program in time for the holidays! This is just a sample of the gorgeous photos from the shoot.

Big gratitude extends to our friend Brian, to .rev for hosting and supporting the event, to for subsidizing the cost of locally grown produce, and to each and every cook for preparing these meals with love.
