Recipe Tips

• Use a heavy bottomed pot – A sturdy pot will transfer heat evenly and you will get a much better tasting soup.
• Use a great broth  – A great soup starts with a great broth.  You can buy some great broths in the grocery store these days.  And if you’re up for it, you can always make your own!
• Sautee spices – If your soup recipes uses any kind of spices, sautee those first.  You will get much more flavour infused into the soup if you sautee any kind of spices or aromatics at the start of the soup.
• Make sure sweet potatoes are really soft – Check the doneness of the sweet potatoes by mashing a piece with a fork. It’s important they are soft so they blend smooth.
• Add broth as needed – Always add broth as needed to soup.  Although your recipe may call for 3 cups (for example), start by adding less.  Add broth as needed to reach the desired consistency.

Substitutions

• Onion – This recipes uses white onions. Brown onions would work as well as leeks.
• Vegetable broth – I used vegetable broth for this soup, but chicken broth would also work.
• Spices – This soup was spiced up with cumin and cayenne. Alternatively, you could use coriander, paprika, or a small amount of dried chilies.
• Herbs – It’s optional to finish off the soup with herbs, but I did use a little fresh parsley for freshness. You could also use basil, cilantro or even chives.
• Additions – Top the soup with a little grated cheese, some mixed toasted seeds and nuts or even crumbled bacon.

Serving
