Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 cup cream (optional) Can be omitted for a lighter soup.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced sweet potatoes and apples, letting them soften slightly for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and blend the mixture until smooth, using an immersion blender or carefully transferring it to a traditional blender.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream if using, mixing well over low heat until fully melted.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and add a sprinkle of additional cheese or a dash of herbs for garnish if desired.

Notes

If substituting ingredients, cranberries work beautifully if you're out of apples. Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking. Adjust thickness by adding more broth or reducing it on the stovetop.
