If you love sweet potatoes, as I do, I think you will enjoy making this simple soup recipe. What I like about this soup is the hint of orange flavor with the sweet taste of the potatoes mixed.

If you want to save time, you can use canned yams, but I do not think it tastes so delicious … as if you used fresh. This recipe is 4 servings.

Orange Spice Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 lbs. Sweet potatoes(Yams), diced

1 large carrot, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 1 / 2 cups vegetable broth

1 1 / 2 cups unsweetened orange juice (not concentrate)

1 cup yogurt

1 tbsp chopped coriander

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Peel and dice your sweet potatoes into 1 to 2 "chunks. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or soup pot. Stir in the diced sweet potatoes,chopped carrots, onions and chopped garlic, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Pour in the vegetable broth and orange juice, cover and bring a full boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook the soup for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent, sticking and scorching. Remove cover and check to see if the sweet potatoes and carrots fork tender. If so, pour the mixture into your blender and process for 1 1 / 2 minutes until pureed and smooth. Return the soupreturn to saucepan.

Stir in the yogurt, cilantro and season with salt, black pepper and cinnamon flavor. Let soup stand for 1 minutes before serving.
