Shakti Grace has graciously shared this recipe with us. Her food delivery company, Nourished + Nurtured, provides this recipe for Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup.

Everyone in the family can enjoy this rich and creamy Asian-inspired soup. Since I did not have lemongrass powder, I added one fresh stem of lemongrass to the carrot and onion mixture. In the end, I added coconut milk instead of a cup of water.
