an utterly simple sweet potato & pumpkin soup
Picture
Caption: I am having considerable difficulty coming to terms with October's rapidly approaching end, at the moment, as I have yet to wholly embrace all that this lovely, autumnal month has to offer.
Ah, yes... November is rather pleasant, also, and possesses all the delightful characteristics that October so generously shares. November is often preferred by myself, in fact... I celebrate my (highly anticipated!) birthday Thanksgiving week each year, a mere five days before the final fall month (December doesn't quite count, in my opinion) draws to a close.
Picture
Caption: This year, however, has proven itself to be an unusual exception. October simply flew by- one minutes I was preparing luggage for a (all-to-brief) five day visit to New York City, the next... well, here I am on the twenty-second day of the tenth month of the year. Halloween is nearly upon us.
What?
How even?
Picture
Caption: But... I digress.
Shall we pumpkin (and sweet potato...) now?
I think yes.
Several weeks ago I concocted a remarkably effortless soup, inspired by a past recipe from my blog. I had just enough time to shoot a single photograph before my four ravenous family members requested steaming hot bowls of this light, broth-based dish.
It was tremendously popular among them all.
