Gina's Favorite Things...

Easy-to-make Sweet Potato-Ginger Soup

This is a really simple soup to make, and I enjoy having it on its own, as to fully take advantage of all the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the sweet potatoes the ginger, and the parsley.

Below are the ingredients...freshly-grated ginger, about one tablespoon;  one medium sweet potato, already steamed or boiled until soft;  fresh parsley (optional);  some vegetable broth or even water;  and some freshly-ground black pepper, or McCormick's peppercorn medley.




I simply smash the sweet potato with the back of a fork.  I've seen recipes on-line which call for the use of a blender, but I don't think it's really necessary.  

Then, I simmer the ginger in a small amount of the broth or water for about 30 seconds before adding the smashed sweet potatoes, parsley, black pepper, and broth.  Let everything simmer slowly for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together nicely.



It's a really delicious pick-me-up, healthy soup!  I hope you give it a try!

Ciao for now, Gina D.
