Ingredients
Scale
4 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
2 large onions
2 Granny smith apples
8 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cumin
Salt & pepper
Fresh thyme
Instructions
Set oven temp to 425 degrees F. Dice sweet potatoes (unpeeled) into one-inch pieces.
Place potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Roast until the edges get dark, about 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop onions and apples. Add to a second pan, drizzling with olive oil and add another sprinkle of salt. Roast until the apples and onions are soft on the inside, brown on the edges. About 20-25 minutes.
Use a blender to combine the roasted sweet potatoes, apples and onions. (Add some of the 8 cups of stock to liquify.)
In a large stock pot, combine the pureed mix to the remaining stock plus garlic powder, cumin plus 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Cook until heated through.
Serve with fresh thyme on the side, letting kids add as they like.
