Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add in sweet potatoes, carrots, stock, cinnamon, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Check at the 20-minute mark and your sweet potatoes should be very tender. If not cook for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Using a blender or food processor, blend the mixture. You can add additional stock while blending if the mixture is to thick. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Serve immediately while it’s hot. This dish is great served with a grilled cheese sandwich.
