Guys, guuuuuuys! Let me tell you about this soup. This super easy, throw it in a blender, Coconut Chickpea Sweet Potato Soup. Let me tell you about the fact that I could face dive into this soup for breakfast, lunch, dinner and second dinner. Or about the fact that it’s super creamy and bursting with coconut flavor….need I say more?! ♥♥♥

BUT, before I dive into the deets on these bowls of deliciousness…I just wanted to address the fact that it’s been so long. SO LONG :((((

So long since I’ve posted a recipe. So long since I’ve had a chance to turn my entire kitchen upside down from recipe testing all day long. Just so so long and it’s truly broken my heart. The truth is, it’s been a super rough past couple of months with college and just life in general. Ohhhh life. What a rollercoaster. But it’s allllll good, because I’m back doing what I love to do best. EAT! Oh wait, I meant 2nd best…..cook deliciously low calorie meals so that I can stuff my face with minimal guilt 😉

Living in Texas, I feel as if Fall never even happened. It’s like one minute, I was in a crop top and flip flops counting down the days until pumpkin spice season and then the next minute I’m piling on the layers, getting ready to build my igloo. What’s up with that?! What happened to the 3 months where I get to obnoxiously wear every pair of leggings I own, paired with riding boots, cute sweaters and all things burgundy? I feel cheated, nooooooot cool.

But on the plus side, this super cold weather gives me a reason to huddle up on the couch all day watching New Girl and slurping down bowl after bowl of Coconut Chickpea Sweet Potato Soup. Yep, LIFE. ♥

What I love most about this soup is that it’s ridiculously easy to make. No, seriously guys. You just have to throw your cooked sweet potatoes in a blender with a few other ingredients, heat it up and your’re all set for a day of comfort food perfection.
