Made some sweet potato soup. Sweet potatoes, onion, chicken broth, half & half, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
I have some regrets. I wish I had waited until I had some fresh sweet potatoes but I was so determined to have sweet potato soup tonight that I used canned sweet potatoes (no sugar). Not quite enough so added some frozen sweet potato tots.
It turned out great, but would be better with raw potatoes.
Too much ginger. I love ginger and I let my heart do the cooking instead of my brain.
I also regret the onion. I had a nice yellow onion to use, but I didn't feel like chopping it, so I used my chopped sweet onion that I cut up for salads. The pieces were for salad and I wish I had given them a few more chops but didn't think of it. I like diced onions in my soup unless it's beef stew, in which case I like giant chunks.
Lastly, I regret not having a submersion blender. I don't have a regular blender, either. The soup is only for me so leaving it chunky is not a big deal. Note to self to buy a blender, though.
Not much to look at, but so good. I could have added peanuts and peanut butter to make African Peanut Soup.
