- 2 medium yams or sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth low sodium
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream or evaporated milk
Instructions
- Saute onion, curry powder and black pepper in oil or melted butter in a large saucepan until the spices become aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Add the yams (or sweet potatoes) and vegetable broth. Simmer until the vegetables are fork tender, about 30 minutes.

Notes
This recipe is taken from the Soup and Bread Cookbook by Beatrice Ojakangas. I highly recommend the soup and the book!
This recipe can be adapted to suit your preference:
-
Chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth if you like.
-
Nondairy milk can be substituted for the heavy cream or evaporated milk.
