Creamy dandelion soup is a nourishing and cleansing anti-inflammatory treat that is satisfying and delicious.

I absolutely love including dandelion leaves in my diet. Besides being highly nutritious, dandelion greens are known to be effective in reducing inflammation, promoting liver function, balancing blood sugar levels, and may help you to lower cholesterol levels. And to top it all off, recent studies showed dandelion leaves’ abilities to prevent cancer cell growth. 1

The dandelion leaf’s bitter taste is responsible for this plant’s many health benefits, but it definitely needs some balance when it comes to preparation. I feel like Hannah sweet potato is a perfect mate for the dandelion leaf in this soup, adding creaminess and a touch of sweetness.

If Hannah sweet potatoes (white sweet potatoes) are not available to you, the second choice would be – cauliflower (if you want to keep your soup looking green), or you can use any other sweet potato variety, it will taste amazing, just the color of the soup will be affected. 

For additional creaminess, I would highly recommend using a cashew sour cream. It is so easy and quick to make with only 2 ingredients + water. 

Often I love to serve this soup with julienned cucumbers. I enjoy the freshness and crunch they offer.

Sometimes I like my dandelion soup with crispy baked tofu bites or croutons.
