Ingredients for Sweet Potato Ginger Soup
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into squares or rounds.
Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until clear, translucent approximately 10 mins.
Add cubed sweet potatoes, stir frequently and cook for an additional 15 mins.
While the sweet potatoes cook, juice or grate ginger to add in at the end.
Add veggie broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer for 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Test how easily they mash with your spoon. Overcooking in this case will not harm the recipe so don't panic!
Transfer small batches to your blender, add ginger, salt, pepper and then purée. Start small with the ginger and add more as you desire.
Serve hot and enjoy!
