Gluten Free Sweet Potato Apple Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 2 red gala apples, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 2 cups low-sodium gluten-free chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 2 cups water
• 2 - 3 dashes of nutmeg
• Fine sea salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 gala apple, cubed, for garnish
• Chopped flat leaf parsley (or fresh basil), for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat a heavy pot with oil over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes.
3. Add the sweet potatoes, apples, broth, water, and nutmeg, and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes and apples are tender.
4. Using a hand blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Alternative, allow the soup to cool in the refrigerator for several minutes. Then fill a blender two-thirds way full with the mixture and puree in batches.
5. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with cubed apples (with the peel) and chopped parsley.
