SWEET POTATO & GINGER SOUP
This is a recreation of a soup I was served at a wonderful restaurant in downtown Greensboro, NC. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes combined with the fragrant ginger, earthy cumin, and spicy cayenne give this soup a deep flavor with multiple levels of warmth. If an immersion blender is not available, soup maybe be blended in a regular blender in small batches.

SWEET POTATO CARROT GINGER SOUP
This soup is thick and delicious and can even be made vegan (by using vegetable broth and leaving out the heavy whipping cream). It's packed with vitamins and great for getting over a cold/flu. I love this recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
