For an extra layer of flavor, consider roasting the sweet potato before adding it to the soup. Feel free to adjust the amount of garam masala and nutmeg to suit your personal preferences. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, dill, or a few florets of steamed broccoli for a pop of color and freshness. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
