Curried Sweet Potato Soup

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk
• 1 small apple
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon curry powder

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients into a large soup pot and bring to a medium boil.
2. Cook at a medium boil until the apples and sweet potatoes are soft.
3. Using a hand blender, blend the soup until smooth directly in the soup pot you just cooked it in. If you don’t have a hand blender, you’ll have to transfer the contents to a regular blender a little at a time. Be careful, it’s hot!
