Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Sweet Potato and Cranberry Soup - 43g Carbs, 34g Fiber
{Suggestion: Since prepared Cranberry Sauce will be sweetened...
consider buying frozen unsweetened cranberries and pureeing with
sweetener of choice. Taste for desired flavor as frozen cranberries
can be sour. Take care, Gloria}

Antioxidant-rich sweet potatoes get a colorful twist with the addition of cranberries. This soup can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for two days or frozen for one month. Serve it hot, topped with a drizzle of cranberry puree.
Serves: 8 to 10
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
4 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 (12-16 oz) can or jar prepared whole cranberry sauce
4 cups gluten-free, dairy-free vegetable or chicken broth
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss onions, carrots and sweet potatoes in olive oil and roast them in a large, heavy roasting pan for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally (about every 15 minutes).
2. While vegetables are cooking, puree cranberry sauce in a blender
until smooth. Set aside.
3. Place roasted vegetables in a large stockpot. Add broth, nutmeg,
ginger, cinnamon, white pepper and salt. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are very soft.
4. In a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches.* Add water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
5. Ladle hot soup into individual bowls and drizzle cranberry puree decoratively over the top of each serving.

TIP
Take care when processing hot liquids in a blender. Hot soup will expand when processed so don't fill the blender more than half full. To avoid being burned by any spattering soup, cover the blender with a dish towel before turning it on.
