AIP Friendly Apple & Sage Sweet Potato Soup
Cozy, velvety, and deeply warming, this soup is the kind of bowl that makes a restrictive healing protocol feel genuinely nourishing rather than like a punishment. Sweet potatoes and a tart Granny Smith apple simmer together in bone broth until completely tender, then get blended with full-fat coconut milk into something impossibly silky and rich. Fresh sage, grated ginger, turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon layer in earthy, aromatic depth without leaning on any nightshades, grains, or seed-based spices — all common sticking points for anyone following an autoimmune elimination approach. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up and keeps the sweetness from tipping too far. The whole thing comes together in one pot, serves four, and reheats beautifully, which makes it a smart batch-cook option for busy weeks when you need something ready and safe. Finish each bowl with a swirl of coconut milk and a few extra sage leaves, and it looks as good as it tastes.
