Sweet Potato Apple Soup

This is a very tasty fall soup. It is slightly sweet yet tangy from the apples. The organic apple juice makes a big difference with the flavor and healthiness of the soup.

Serving Size: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon vegan margarine
• 2 leeks, thinly sliced
• 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
• 1 & 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 quart water
• 1 cup organic apple juice
• salt and white pepper to taste
• nutmeg
• vegan cream, optional
• chives and nutmeg as garnish

Directions:

1. Prepare the leeks, carrots, sweet potatoes and apples.
2. Heat the vegan margarine im a large sop pot and add the vegetables and apples to the pot.
3. Add the apple juice and 1/2 of the water or enough until all the vegetables are submerged.
4. Lightly season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg,
5. Bring the soup to a boil then turn it down to simmer.
6. When the potatoes are soft, puree the soup. We used an immersion blender.
7. If the soup is too thick, you can add more apple juice or the rest of the water.
8. If desired you can add a non-dairy creamer, however we found the soup to be delicious already.
9. We served the soup garnished with sprinkled nutmeg and some chopped chives.
