 Harvest Soup 

Servings: 4

1 tablespoon Olive Oil 1 Onion small, chopped 1 clove Garlic minced

1 Granny Smith Apple peeled, cored, and chopped

1 Sweet Potato peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper to taste

11/4 cups Water

11/2 cups Vegetable Broth Salt to taste

Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until golden. Add chopped apple and sweet potato, ginger powder, cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, stock, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 1 hour. Add salt to taste and adjust the seasonings. Ladle into bowls as is, or pour soup into a blender and puree until smooth. If you don't have a blender, just peel the apples and sweet potatoes before cooking. Then mash everything up with a masher or large spoon after its done.
