I’ve been making this stupid simple soup for over ten years (before ‘paleo’ entered anyone’s lexicon), but it had fallen out of my regular routine until I was cold last week and wanted something warm to bring for an engagement party potluck.
This is the analog recipe: fatfree.com/recipes/fruit-soups/sweet-potato-pear-soup (how embarrassing)
SWEET POTATO PEAR SOUP
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 stalk celery, diced
2-3 yams, peeled and diced
S&P, cinnamon, nutmeg, 2 dashes cayenne
3-5 pears, peeled and chopped
4 cups vegetable stock or chicken broth
Saute onion and celery. Add potatoes and seasonings. Add pears. Stir in stock and simmer til potatoes are tender. Puree and heat through.
Makes 7 cups. And everyone happy.
