With carrots, sweet potatoes and apples, this savory soup with a hint of sweetness is the essence of fall.
About Sweet Potatoes
Before we get started, let’s talk about sweet potatoes. It’s common practice in the U.S. to use the words “sweet potato” and “yam” interchangeably. This is confusing since yams aren’t sweet potatoes at all, but rather thick white tubers with dark brown skin. But chances are you won’t find real yams at the supermarket, so if you see “yams,” you’re probably looking at sweet potatoes. As for the different varieties, look for Garnet, Jewel, Beauregard, all of which have orange flesh and reddish-brown skin and are delicious in sweet potato pie, mashed sweet potatoes, and sweet potato casserole. Now, I have to admit that I’m not one of those people who look forward to fall; my pessimistic side knows all too well that winter is looming. But the thought of comfort food and cozy clothes does make it more bearable. So go ahead and think of this dish as that soft knit sweater you can’t wait to put on at the first sign of a chill. Pair the soup with crusty artisan bread, challah, or dinner rolls.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by cooking the onions in butter until they are soft and translucent. Then, add the curry powder and cook until fragrant. Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes, then toss in the chopped apples. Purée with a stick blender until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!

When I tasted the seasoning right after blending while it was still extremely hot, I was worried that it tasted a little bland. I could get some spice in an aftertaste but that was it. But after I put some in my bowl to eat and let it cool slightly, the spices and flavors really came out and I’m glad I didn’t make any changes to the spices in the recipe.
