Creamy Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

This creamy sweet potato and carrot soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold day. It's made with simple ingredients like sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and it's sure to warm you up from the inside out.

I first had this soup at a restaurant in New York City. I was immediately hooked on the creamy texture and the sweet and savory flavor. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this soup ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
