How Obsessed Am I With Sweet Potatoes?

I found the yummiest looking sweet potato soup and I can't wait to try it! This year, my side of the family is celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve. We are going to have different soups for dinner. I am going to suggest we give this one a try!

How yummy does this look! If you are interested in something slightly different for one of the soups, I would eat this whole pot!

• 1 tbsp olive oil 
• 1 medium onion, chopped 
• 1 C low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock 
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced 
• 5 large carrots, peeled and sliced 
• 1 tbsp jarred ginger, chopped 
• Plain nonfat Greek-style yogurt (optional) 

Directions

1. 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.

2. 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.)

3. 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.
