I got the idea for this soup after traveling to Cancun, Mexico for spring break with the family. The chef would only share the ingredients, no measurements, so I was left to strike the right balance between all the ingredients. After a few tweaks, it is ready to share! If you are a soup connoisseur and have never tried this soup recipe, you may just question why you waited so long!.
This Creamy Zucchini and Sweet Potato Soup is a very tasty soup that will definitely catch your taste buds off guard. The surprising combination of leek and onion along with zucchini squash and sweet potato is pretty unique. Adding chicken broth and the extra special Le Delice De Bourgogne Cheese, it’s transformed into one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted. Enjoy!
