Sweet potatoes and apples complement each other nicely in this hearty, mildly spiced, low fat soup.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp minced shallots
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups fat-free vegetable broth

Preparation:

Heat oil on medium in a large pot or Dutch oven. Sauté shallots, onions and carrots for 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle curry powder and stir until fragrant. Add sweet potatoes and apples followed by vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
