Recipe of the week

so it is freezing here in Alberta, it has been raining for a few days, and so i thought that i would make something that would warm me up a bit. to tell you the truth, this recipe turned out alot better than i thought it would!!!

Sweet potato Ginger soup:

1 large yellow onion chopped
1 large leek (cleaned and chopped)
1 large sweet potato chopped
salt / pepper
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 tbsp chopped ginger
pinch of cinnamon
1-2 tbsp brown sugar
olive oil / butter
1 box chicken broth
1 cup cream

brown the onions in the oil and butter, add leeks and sweet potato, cook till tender, add the remaining ingredients, boiling until sweet potatoes are cooked through. puree in a blender (probably not the best thing to use actually, seeing as how last time i did that, it exploded on me, and everywhere else, and i got a few minor burns) so mabey a hand blender is the best thing to use. puree until smooth. eat with soda crackers. yummmm!
