The main ingredient here are sweet potatoes, which are not strictly alkaline and should be eaten in moderation.

This is one of those soups, which I increasingly crave the more I eat it. The main ingredient is asparagus, which is alkaline and packed with healthy nutrients. Asparagus has been used for centuries as a vegetable and medicine.
