There is nothing like a rainy day to make a batch of soup! We have come to realize how much extra sodium
is in packaged soups. Last fall/winter I
began broadening my soup making repertoire.
One of our favorites is Sweet
Potato Soup. I portion some out for
Little Roo (allowing time to cool) and then add in chipotle peppers (I am kind
of obsessed with them!)
I put some dried
fruit and nuts in the bowl before serving the soup. A little sweetness and crunch in the soup is
delicious!
As you can see, I had a
willing helper in the kitchen, mashing and sampling the sweet potatoes. Luckily, the girl loves to wash her hands so
we alternated smashing and washing.
The
only other adaptation from the recipe we make it that my husband prefers a
thicker, chunkier soup so rather than blending the soup, I just bake the sweet
potatoes until they are really soft and mashable and don’t blend it at all.
We recently came across a huge bag of kale at BJ’s for a
very small price. I knew that it was a
super food, but I hadn’t ever used it in my cooking. I banked on Pinterest providing me with some
great ideas! I found making Kale Chips so easy, and
they turn out crunchy, and yummy!! I don’t like the smell in the house as they
bake, but it is a small price to pay for nutritious food. Other seasonings can be used; I like them
with chili powder!
