Before you jump to Spiced Sweet Potato Soup recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Choosing Healthy Fast Food.
Just about any article you read about bettering your health or slimming down is going to tell you to ignore the drive through and cook all of your meals instead. This is certainly excellent information. From time to time, though, the last thing you need is to have to make a meal from scratch. Once in a while you just want to check out the drive through while you are on your way home and complete the day. There is no reason that you shouldn’t be able to do this once in a while and be free of the guilt usually associated with “diet slips”. This is because most famous fast food restaurants around are trying to “healthy up” their menus. Here is how you can eat healthy when you hit the drive through.
Choose a drive through with a restaurant which is known for catering to people with healthy palates. Arby’s for instance, is void of burgers. Instead, the selections consist of roast beef and chicken sandwiches, wraps and big salads. Wendy’s, although no stranger to the hamburger, also includes plenty of additional meal choices: large salads, large baked potatoes and other tasty items fill its menu. Most fast food restaurants do not stoop to the harmful lows seen at McDonalds.
Standard logic tells us that one positive way to get healthy and lose fat is to drop the drive through and to remove fast food restaurants from your thoughts. Most of the time this is a good idea but if you make great choices, there’s no reason you can’t visit your drive through once in a while. Once in a while, letting someone else cook dinner is just what you require. If you choose healthy items, the shame usually associated with hitting the drive through shouldn’t be so bad.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to spiced sweet potato soup recipe. You can have spiced sweet potato soup using 8 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Spiced Sweet Potato Soup:
- Get 500 g sweet potatoes or yams (about 2 large ones. I used the purple skinned Japanese yams)
- Prepare 1/2 onion
- Get 1 Tbsp butter or olive oil
- Provide 400 ml vegetable or other broth (I use kombu broth)
- Provide 1/2 tsp salt
- Get 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, more to taste
- Provide 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, more to taste
- Use 100 ml milk (optional)
Instructions to make Spiced Sweet Potato Soup:
- Scrub the sweet potato to remove any dirt. Peel skin if you like and cut into cubes (I used purple skinned Japanese sweet potatoes so left the skin on because I like the color and flavor). Slice the onion thin.
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a medium pot. Add the onions and saute on medium low until soft and translucent.
- Add the sweet potatoes, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir for a minute to coat in oil and distribute the spices.
- Pour in enough broth to just cover everything. Bring to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer with the lid on for about 15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft.
- After the sweet potatoes are soft, blend the soup with a stick blender or mixer of some sort until smooth and thick. If it's too thick, add a little more broth - or - to make it a little creamier add 100 to 200 ml milk and mix well.
- Adjust taste with salt, and more spices if you like. Serve in bowls and garnish with another dash of cinnamon, or thick yogurt, or cream.
