recipe of the day

I am making spicy sweet potato soup from scratch! it smells so awesome in my apartment right now....although, I just had a taste test, it may be a bit spicy. I am going to add a dollop of low-fat sour cream before consuming, hopefully that will help. My boyfriend will probably have a beer with his so that should calm the spicy-ness.
Here's the recipe: I just made it up.
2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup of baby carrots
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 box of low sodium chicken broth
low fat sour cream (use just before serving)
spices:
1tbsp curry powder
cilantro
ginger
red pepper flakes (optional)

Cook onions, garlic, spices, in small amount of olive oil.
When onions are brown, add to pot.
In pot, combine onions, garlic, to carrots, sweet potatoes (cubed), chicken broth.
Bring to a boil.
Now SIMMER for a couple hours.

To serve:
Blend until creamy appearance
Add dollop of sour cream and raisins (optional)

ENJOY!

Sounds amazing! Try Greek Yogurt instead of your low-fat Sour Cream! Even better for you.
