List of Ingredients




1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
4 cups non-fat, reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 yam or sweet potato, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/2-inch slices
1 can (16 oz.) puréed pumpkin
1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 tsp. finely minced chives, for garnish


Recipe



In a large, heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the leek and apple until the leek softens, about 4 minutes.

Add the broth, yam, pumpkin and thyme. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the yam and apple are soft when pierced with a knife, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Transfer soup to a blender or food processor and purée. Divide among 6 bowls. Garnish, if desired, with the chives and serve.
