Sweet Potato Soup

It's getting chilly here in the North East and that means soup is now a regular meal for our family.  I love broth based veggie soups while my husband likes the creamy "stick to your bones" kind of soups.  My sweet potato soup is a happy medium :)

Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion (yellow or white)
1/4 carrots carrots
1-2 cloves garlic
4 medium to large sweet potatoes
48 oz. of chicken broth
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 dashes of cinnamon
Salt
2 tbsp. Olive Oil

Recipe:
Dice onion, carrots, and garlic.  Peel and cube sweet potatoes.

Sauté' onions, carrots, garlic, red pepper flakes, and cinnamon in the Olive Oil.  Add a good pinch of salt.

Add cubed sweet potatoes and broth- bring to a simmer and cook for 30-45 mins.

Use an emerson blender and puree soup.  *If you don't have a hand emerson blender then you use use a blender.

** Add salt to taste
** You may need to add more stock if the soup gets too thick once blended.


I made my croutons with a loaf of organic rosemary sourdough bread- Yummy!
