Why are sweet potatoes good for mental health? Why does MySahana have recipes on the website?
5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, washed, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium shallots, cut in half
2 garlic cloves
2 carrots, scrubbed, cut into chunks
8 cups vegetable stock
kosher salt to taste
pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven, over medium heat. Add shallots, lower heat and cook until soft, about 3 – 5 minutes. Add carrots and sweet potatoes, stir, cook for about 10 minutes over low heat. Add stock and garlic. Raise the heat, to bring to a medium boil. Stir. Cover. Lower heat and cook until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes. Puree in a food processor or blender, in batches, until smooth. Return to stock pot. Gently reheat over low heat. Garnish with parmesan cheese and italian parsley. Serve. Eat.
*If you do not want a vegetarian version, use chicken stock. As a garnish fry up some pancetta and sprinkle over the top of the soup before serving!
