sweet potato soup

i love soup!
y'all may already know that by now.
this one is brought to us from my friend joy again and it's fantastic. all the different ingredients combine to make such an interesting flavor. it's autumn in a bowl. i think this would be better as a starter rather than a main, but that's just a personal preference. there's a lot of peelin' and choppin' going on here, but don't be intimidated. it's really not that bad, and it's worth it!

1. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large pot over med-high heat.
2. Stir in: 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 onion, chopped
3. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Add: 1/2 cup red lentils, rinsed
1/2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
5. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to med-low. Cover and simmer about 15-20 minutes, until veggies are tender.
6. Puree in a blender and garnish with parsley & paprika.

ENJOY!
