This soup is delicious and very easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 pounds peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 pinch brown sugar
- 3 large garlic cloves, sliced
- 1.5 tsp fresh chopped (finely diced) ginger
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less depending on how spicy you like it)
- 3 to 6 cups of chicken broth (depending on how thick you want the soup)
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- 1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep pan.
- 2. Add sweet potato chunks, then onion, stirring very little at first then more frequently until veggies start to turn golden brown. (approx. 10 mins)
- 3. Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic. Continue cooking until veggies are rich spotty caramel colour. (another 10 mins)
- 4. Add ginger, nutmeg and cayenne pepper, continue to saute for 1 more min.
