Spiced Sweet Potato and Bacon Soup
The idea of making this spiced potato soup came to me last weekend. I was dining out with a friend, and the couple sitting next to us ordered something similar with chunks of bacon and it looked delicious. I thought to myself, “Sweet potato and bacon? Yes, most definitely!”
So, the very next day, I made this velvety, smoked paprika soup with a garnish of scallions, walnuts, and some legendary, crispy bacon, glazed with cannabis-infused butter.
And I kid you not, I literally cried with joy, when I first tasted it!.
The cannabis is added in two doses - once, cooked with the vegetables, and then again, in the garnish. The best thing about the garnish dose is that you can add as much as you want, or skip it completely if you want to keep the cannabis dosage low. This soup, if ungarnished, will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
