Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the sweet potatoes, apples, onions and garlic in a roasting pan. Toss them with the oil and a few shakes of salt and pepper (optional).
  2. Roast, tossing every 10 minutes, until they are soft, about 30 minutes.
  3. Puree the vegetable/apple mixture in a blender or food processor (or in the pot using an immersion blender), adding just enough broth to cover it. Add more broth to the blender until the soup reaches the desired consistency, so it is smooth and not too thick. If you are using a blender, you will probably need to puree the soup in two batches.
  4. Warm the soup over low heat in a stockpot until ready to serve, refrigerate it for up to 1 day, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Stir in sour cream at the table for a creamier taste, if desired.
Slow Cooker Directions
  1. Put all ingredients, except the sour cream, in the slow cooker and cook on low 8 - 12 hours or on high 4 - 6 hours.
  2. Puree the vegetable chunks using an immersion blender (carefully, as the soup has a tendency to splatter), or use a food processor or blender as directed. Return the soup to the slow cooker and stir to mix. Stir in the sour cream at serving time, if desired. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—Get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)
Recipe Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes, peel, core and quarter the apple, peel and quarter the onion, peel the garlic, roast the fruit and vegetables and refrigerate, or fully prepare and refrigerate or freeze the soup.

Scramble Flavor Booster: Add 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. ground ginger or 1 Tbsp. fresh grated ginger to the roasted vegetables before blending, or 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chili pepper for a spicy bite.

Tip: If you’re trying to work extra fruits and vegetables into your diet, remember that every little bit counts (like the raisins in your cereal, tomato sauce on your pasta, berries in your smoothies, lettuce and tomatoes on your sandwich, zucchini in your muffins, even the apple in your soup!).
