Roasted Corn, Red Pepper, and Sweet Potato Soup with Coconut Milk (Vegan)

They say April showers bring May flowers. Well, today proved the first part correct, we will have to wait until May about the second part. Today was damp, rainy and gloomy, not ideal spring weather. The other day we had hail, and I was like "WHAT THE HAIL IS GOING ON?", but today's weather had me in a baking, cuddling and soup-slurping mood.

Now I didn't make this soup today, I wish I was that good at making, photographing and blogging, but a bowl of it would have been just the remedy to the dreary weather! Instead, I had some delicious pasta, which I will be sharing soon! In the meantime, soup!
Also, please note the unintentional sriracha heart in the first picture! I started taking pictures, looked back at a few and noticed it!
