(from fearama’s recipe box)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves 2 people
Categories: Soup
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 C low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 2 1/2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 tbsp jarred ginger, chopped
- Plain nonfat Greek-style yogurt (optional)
Directions
-
Heat oil in large saucepan.
-
Add onion and cook until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add stock plus 2 cups water, then add sweet potato, carrot, and ginger. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Strain out vegetables and put them in a food processor or blender.
-
Puree until smooth, adding a bit of broth if needed. (If you’re using a standard blender, allow the mixture to cool first; hot liquid may cause the blender to squirt out contents. Depending on the size of your blender, you may have to do this in batches.)
-
Pour vegetable puree back into the saucepan and stir until well blended and smooth.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a dollop of yogurt on top, if desired.
