INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onions, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with cardamom, turmeric, ginger, pepper flakes, cinnamon, cayenne; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and water; add sweet potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and puree in batches until smooth.
