Tahini Soup
I have a tahini obsession. Hummus, salad dressings, smoothies, oatmeal… Tahini gets put in many dishes in this house. But recently I realized I’ve never tried putting tahini in soup! This soup is super creamy, and full of other goodness like chickpeas, coconut milk, and sweet potatoes. Perfect for those 5 days of winter we get here in Florida. (Apologies to my Canadian co-blogger!)
