It can get pretty chilly outside during Montreal winters. This winter hasn’t been so bad, but the weather still fluctuates like crazy. One day its 0 degrees, and the next, -20!
Soups are one of my favourite things too make during the cold winter months. They’re fast, easy, healthy, and most importantly comforting!
This roasted sweet potato cinnamon soup is one of my favourite soup recipes. I made it for my family and they loved it! I passed the recipe on to my mom, and she made it for guests and they all loved it too! This soup quickly became a staple in my kitchen.
Make it for dinner on a casual Monday, or if your hosting guests on a Saturday night, roasted sweet potato cinnamon soup is the perfect soup for any situation!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Place your potatoes on the baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes, or until they feel tender when you poke them with a fork.

I am so intrigued by this flavor combination! With all the sweet and savory spices and flavors I don’t even know what to expect taste wise. The pictures look incredibly inviting as usual with your creations <3 And roasting the sweet potato rather than boiling, mmm i bet that makes a huge difference flavor wise! I have to try this Jess, pinning for sure!
Thanks Natalie! The flavours are so nice together! The roasted potato with the cinnamon and fresh dill really compliments each other so well and in a unique way!
