Sweet Potato Soup for Vegetarians

Sweet potato soup makes a hearty vegetarian dish. This easy to prepare soup recipe makes seven cups of hearty vegan soup, or four generous servings.

Gather together:

• 5 cups of unpeeled sweet potatoes cut into chunks, about 2 ½ pounds.
• 4 cups of vegetable broth or 4 cups of water and 5 vegetable bouillon cubes,
• 1 cup of diced onion.
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 ½ cups plain or original soy milk
• dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
• salt and pepper to taste

Add enough liquid to cover the sweet potatoes. Simmer until they are very tender. Allow the pot to cool as you sauté the onions until they are limp.

Get out the blender. Remove the plastic gizmo from the center of the blender's lid. Use a dishtowel to cover the hole while the blender is running permitting steam to escape. Otherwise, you may have sweet potato puree on the ceiling.

Blend the onions, broth and sweet potatoes in batches until smooth. Add the sweet potato puree back to the soup pot. Stir in soy milk. Heat the vegan soup gently and don't allow it to boil as it will curdle. Taste for seasonings.
