So big changes in the Royal Bisquit household these days. We've had a new addition and now there's a baby bisquit hanging around. Mom and Dad are happy and exhausted, and the baby's aunt Lauren came by to help out and feed us lunch. She brought over a terrific sweet potato soup, and some grilled cheese and prosciutto sandwiches. The soup was so great we're sure it will be among the first things served to baby when he starts eating people food.
Auntie Lauren's Sweet Potato Soup
4lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 large cloves minced garlic
2 T minced ginger maybe more/less? Enough so when you’re stirring in the sweet potatoes, each cube has a few pieces of garlic and ginger stuck to it
1 T Olive oil
2 12oz cans low sodium chicken stock
Milk for thinning/taste
Salt and pepper
Yoghurt (optional)
Sauté garlic and ginger in olive oil on medium in large stock pot until warmed through, but not brown, about 30 seconds.
Add sweet potatoes, let sauté for a few minutes to brown up a little.
Add salt and pepper.
Add 1 and half/ three quarters cans of stock, enough to cover most of the potatoes.
Let boil on high heat for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Turn off heat, and using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until mostly smooth.
A blender can also be used.
