Soup Cleanse: Delicious recipe

Bonjour. I consider myself a skilled, ardent and appreciative soup creator. My pots of warm love (eww is that weird sounding!!??) are well reviewed by those who know. This attribute alone will constitute one of the (few) better things on my epitath.
 Let's be real: most soup is pretty darn healthy. Yeah you can cream it up with, well, cream or sour cream, cheese - but even then: it's eaten by the spoon, it's basically a liquid, you have to eat A LOT to really overdo a portion. It's easier for your hardworking intestinal track to process due to the liquidity and smaller, well cooked vegetables and proteins simmered in soothing, healthy broth. Most soups begin with a mirepoix (celery, carrot, onion and often garlic) so we begin with healthy vegetables, almost always and almost always add more. And olive oil - we simmer the mirepoix in the golden juice of the noble olive. So soup is mostly- almost- always healthy.

But this, this soup cleanse soup, it is a wonder!! Easy, inexpensive, vegan, cleansing, ultra nutritious and absolutely delicious.   You will make it over and over as I do. Beta carotene baby!

Sweet Potato Cream Soup

8 sweet potatos - I quickly scrub and dry them and bake, intact, at 400 degrees for about an hour.
                            When cool I cut them in half an squeeze the potato pulp into the following:


This is made while the potatos bake:
One onion sliced and sauteed in about a tablespoon of olive oil. Add
one to two tablespoons of minced garlic, don't burn it! Lightly salt. After a few minutes of sauteeing on low-med heat add 8 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a simmer/low boil. You can partially cover to speed up the process and then:
This is when you add the pulp of the sweet potatos. Add a bit more salt, lightly. Lower heat and let cook softly for about 10 minutes. Let it cool and then puree with blender in batches (or immersion blender). Check seasoning add: salt, pepper for sure. Then you can add: hot sauce, sour cream (this is not a cleanse variation!) or go your own crazy way. A healthier variation is to add ginger, grated raw (about a tablespoon) would be great - toss right into the broth before pureeing.

Delish, enjoy!
