This incredibly easy and delicious vegan sweet potato apple soup is one of my favorite fall soups. In addition to the fact that I know I’m not the only person who isn’t quite ready for pumpkin yet, I love it because it’s simple and incredibly filling. This soup combines the savory goodness of shallots with the naturally sweet sweetness of sweet potatoes and apples to create a naturally creamy soup that is ideal for the upcoming cooler weather.
