Vegetarian Sweet Potato Curry

Vegetarian Sweet Potato Curry Soup is a 30-minute meal that’s the perfect weeknight dinner. This cheap healthy meal is a vegetarian dish that’s both dairy and gluten free.

When my husband and I traveled to Thailand, one of our favorite activities was going to culinary school. We were able to tour the local markets, obtain the fresh ingredients we needed, and prepare delicious meals packed with flavor for very little money. It was amazing to me that I was so far away from the comfort of my own kitchen, yet so comfortable creating meals that my husband and I both loved…and devoured!

After we got home, I was determined to continue making the same delicious meals we had grown to love in the different regions of Thailand. Armed with my newfound ingredient knowledge and cooking techniques, I ventured to our local outdoor farmers market here on Oahu. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this side of the Pacific had just as many treasures as the Thai market we frequented!

My Vegetarian Sweet Potato Curry Soup is a culinary treat that pleases nearly anyone and is both dairy free and gluten free. It’s the perfect easy weeknight dinner because who doesn’t love a simple and flavorful 30-minute meal?
