Recipe Introduction


A warming soup with an appealing golden color. The natural sweetness of the
sweet potatoes gives this soup a surprising flavor twist.


List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 large celery stalk, diced
Handful of celery leaves
6 cups peeled, diced (about 1/2 inch) sweet potatoes
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup rice milk or soymilk, or as needed
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Recipe



Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté
over low heat until the onions are golden. Add the celery leaves and sweet
potato dice. Add just enough water to cover all but about an inch of the
vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the bay leaves and seasonings.
Simmer gently, covered, until the sweet potatoes and vegetables are quite
tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.

With a slotted spoon, remove about half of the solid ingredients and
transfer to a food processor along with about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
Process until smoothly pureed, then stir back into the soup pot. Add the
milk or soymilk as needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency. Season
with salt and pepper. Simmer over very low heat for another 10 to 15
minutes.
Serve at once, or let stand off the heat for an hour or two before serving,
then heat through as needed.
