Sweet Potato and Squash Soup

 

This is my favourite soup, I don't measure ingredients but this is approximately what I do:

 

Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes (cubed)

  • 1 small butternut squash (cubed)

  • Chicken broth (gluten free and low sodium)

  • 4 Tbsp butter

  • 1 tsp (or more of chilli)

  • 1 onion (chopped)

  • 1 tsb nutmeg

 

Directions

In a large saucepan melt the butter, add the chilli and stir until you can smell the fragrance. Add the onion and fry until transparent.

Add half a cup of chicken broth, then add the sweet potato and squash. Add more broth until nearly covering the potato and squash.

Bring to boil and then simmer until squash and sweet potato is soft. Either mash or use a blender to get soup to the consistency you like (add more broth or water if it is too thick), add the nutmeg before blending.

Serve warm, I like it as it is but you can top with a little cream and/or bacon bits
