Sweet Potato Coconut Soup

Despite the sweet ingredients, this is a hearty and delicious soup. Increase the coconut milk to a full can if you want a richer coconut flavor. You can toast the cinnamon, Garam masala, and cumin in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Once they release their aroma, remove from heat and add to soup mixture.
