Ingredients

Ingredients

1 tbsp ghee or olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped fresh ginger

1 garlic clove, chopped

2 tbsp white miso (or chickpea miso)

3 small sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs) peeled and cut into cubes

2 Pink Lady® apples, peeled and cut into cubes

5 cups water or low sodium stock

Juice from half a lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Hot chili oil or toasted sesame oil for garnish

Directions

Directions:

1In a large sauce pan heat the ghee or olive oil over low heat, add the chopped onions and a small pinch of salt then sweat the onions until they are soft and translucent, about 15-20 minutes.

2Add the chopped ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes, until fragrant.

3Add the miso, water or stock, sweet potatoes and apple cubes and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the the sweet potatoes and apples are cooked through and break apart when pierced with a knife, 20-30 minutes.

4Take the soup off the heat, carefully transfer to a blender in small batches and blend until very smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender in the pot.

5Return the soup to the pot, add the lemon juice and additional water or stock to thin soup to desired consistency, cook on low for another 5 minutes.

6Taste soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with a drizzle of hot chili oil or toasted sesame oil.

7Cooled soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for a month.
