It's a great time of year for warm and delicious soup. So let me introduce you to this creation.... Sweet Potato Pear Soup!
This recipe kind of was a fabrication of all yummy fall tastes.
Peel and chop 3 pairs and 3 sweet potatos.
Chop an onion, and brown it in some olive oil- add some cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste. Take your chopped fruit and veg. and put them in a stockpot with about 6 cups of chicken stock and a bay leaf. Boil until the sweet potatos are fork tender. Then take your hand blender and whizz it all up- actually, since I can't perform that task because of a carpal tunnel issue, I asked my sweet husband to blend and he didn't know there was a bay leaf, so it had a crushed bay leaf in there... true story.
A girl can't live on soup alone, so I served it with a spinach salad bombarded with nectarines and toasted almonds... we love toasted almonds at my house!
Oh and this giant foccacia loaf, but I shared...
Here's a final photo with a pit of parsley and if you look close- crushed and pureed bay leaf.
Bread with butter, a close up.... the bread must be fresh and crusty and the butter must be cold!
This is our fave... spinach salad with fruit and balsamic vinaigrette. May all your fall dinners be colourful and sweet!
