Sweet Potato (Squash) Soup

Sweet Potato (Squash) Soup
*Serves 4-6

This soup features a few of the many fall veggies we have on the farm – delicata squash (aka sweet potato squash), sweet potato, and onion. Both of the squash are small and easy to peel & chop. These powerhouse ingredients are chock full of not only delicious flavour, but also vitamins A and C! Blending the soup + adding some coconut milk provides an amazingly creamy texture and the cinnamon and nutmeg add some wintertime depth to the overall flavour. 

Ingredients:
2 delicata squash (aka sweet potato squash), peeled and cubed
2 large sweet potato, peeled and cube
1 onion, diced
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup coconut milk
Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Place vegetable broth in a medium-sized pot and add the diced onion and peeled and cubed squash and sweet potato over medium-high heat.

2. Bring mixture to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until squash and sweet potato are tender.

3. Blend soup mixture using an immersion blender or a blender. If using a blender, allow soup to cool and then transfer in small batches.

4. Once soup is blended, mix in coconut milk and spices. Add salt and pepper to taste.
