Sweet Potato and Quinoa Coconut Soup

This is a simple sweet potato soup. Nothing too fancy but hits all the right spots, sweet, smooth with a hint of heat and spice. Oh and the best part is the quinoa! Quinoa is a nutritious seed that taste very much like a grain. Because this seed is actually a complete protein like meat, except with out the bad animal fats to go against its benefits and is great for body tissue repair. Its rich calcium is great for your bones and skin too. This is a great recipe for babies if you omit the chili powder. I have taken the liberty of taking a picture down below of sweet potatoes boiling in a pot in case you weren't sure what that looked like .. lol.. Anyways this soup just might be your fam's GO TO sweet poataoe soup. Enjoy!
