Ginger Pear Sweet Potato Soup

This is a very delicious recipe I have made it times and finally got it the way I like it.  People who have eaten it have LOVE it. I make this soup a lot throughout the year.


Melt coconut oil in a large pot.  While it is melting chop 1 large Spanish onion and add to the pot.

  

Sweat the onions for about 5 minutes then add the chopped ginger.

Stir the onion and ginger and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.

While the onions and ginger cook together, peel and chop 3 sweet potatoes.  And then add to the pot.

Add half a carton of stock and 3 cinnamon sticks, pepper and salt  Bring to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil add the 3 chopped pears and 1 can of lite coconut milk.

Reduce temperature to low cover the pot with a lid and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender.

When the sweet potatoes are tender remove the cinnamon sticks and then using an immersion blender puree the soup until smooth. If the soup is too thick add some more of the stock until you get the consistently you like.

Heat thoroughly and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Then serve up.
