Gingered Sweet Potato Carrot Soup

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
5 large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp jarred ginger

In saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft (about 3 minutes). Add broth, water, carrot, potato, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, until veggies are soft.

Strain soup to separate veggies and set some of the broth aside. Put the veggies into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, using some of the broth to thin it out if necessary. Discard all unused broth. Stir veggies well until smooth.

Makes 2 large servings or 4 side servings.

Comment: Add a bit of cumin too.
