Ginger-Spiced Sweet Potato Soup

This is a very kid-friendly soup because it pretty much tastes like sweet potato pie in a bowl.

Peel and chop five large sweet potatoes and put into a pot.
Add 32 ounces of chicken or vegetable broth (Swanson's low sodium will not disappoint)
Take a chunk of ginger about the size of your thumb, chop it into 2-3 pieces, and add to the water.
Quarter an orange, squeeze the juice into the pot, and add the remains of the orange to the pot as well.

Bring to a boil and simmer on low until the sweet potatoes are well cooked.

Remove the ginger pieces and orange quarters.

With either an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the mixture thoroughly.

Then add 1 tablespoon cinnamon and a few grates of fresh nutmeg -- about 1/8 of a teaspoon at most -- you just want this to be a background note in the soup, not a dominant flavor.

Simmer gently for about 10 minutes and then taste for seasoning, including salt, and then keep it simmering until it reduces to your desired consistency.

Try serving this with grilled cheese sandwiches instead of the usual tomato soup and see how the kids like it!
