Sweet Potato and Apple Soup Recipe (+)

Directions

In a medium soup pot, heat the oil, until simmering. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook over low heat. Stir until softened; approximately 7 minutes. Add the apples and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Now add the chicken stock, water and chipolte peppers. Bring to a boil. Cover partially and let simmer over low heat until the fruit and vegetables are very tender; approximately 45 minutes. Stir in the chipolte peppers and mole sauce if the sauce is also being added with the peppers.
Use a blender(immersion blender is best) to puree the soup until smooth.
Season with salt and white pepper. Add the cumin, onion powder and cayenne papper, stir until blended well.
To add a flavorful spiciness to the soup, consider using chipolte peppers, either chopped bits or pureed into the soup base. Some chipolte peppers can be found in food stores as a canned product. The peppers are seeded and may be whole or chopped and may also be combined with a mole sauce. Add to taste for mild to hot intensities or serve in a seperate bowl and allow guests to add amounts to suit their taste buds. The addition of the mole sauce will increase the intensity of the flavor.
Garnish with crumbled feta or goat cheese, if desired and serve. Refrigerate remainder for up to a week.
