You might not think of Sweet Potatoes and Persimmons when you think of whipping together a really easy, wholesome soup…
They really do work amazing together. Both Sweet Potatoes and Persimmons are rich in Vitamin A – while too much Vitamin A isn’t the best idea, a simple bowl of soup isn’t going to do too much damage.
This soup is incredibly easy to whip together in your Instant Pot ~ in less than 30 minutes, you can have this soup ready and on the table. It is wholesome and rich, but has a nice fruity flavor from the Persimmons.
