I know what you’re thinking: almond butter and sweet potatoes do not sound like an obvious combo. But I’m telling you right now, do not dismiss this Sweet Potato-Almond Butter Soup without giving it a go! Its flavor is outstanding, and it can be a freezer meal or a slow cooker meal or an instant pot meal. Plus it’s just so darn easy to make. The protein and fat from the almond butter balance the starch of the potatoes for a perfectly balanced meal of healthy macronutrients.
