Invariably rich, the sweet potato lends it’s creamy nature to chowders and stews. With the exception of the nondairy milk, there is no added fat in this recipe! You can of course make it richer by using coconut or cashew cream in place of the almond milk.
Deliciously fresh on it’s own or with some crusty bread, bump it up a notch by topping with some vegan cheddar, bac’ny bits, and/or avocado.
