Casablanca – Ramadan is a month of tradition, reflection, and of course, delicious ftour meals. Soups hold a special place on the table, comforting and nourishing.
For many, the evening starts with familiar flavors like harira, the must-have Moroccan delicacy. But after a few days, our taste buds crave something new – a little twist on the classics.
This creamy potato and sweet potato soup is exactly that: simple, hearty, and slightly different, while still keeping the warmth and comfort we love in our iftar bowls.
Hear me out: the magic in this recipe is in the sweet potato. It’s the ingredient that adds irresistible charm, especially if it’s the sweet, orange-fleshed variety.
The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes balances the earthy potatoes, and a touch of cream makes it silky and indulgent without being heavy. Add a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of garlic powder, and it becomes a cozy treat everyone at the table will enjoy.
Roll up your sleeves and let’s prepare this cozy treat.
