Recipe Notes

  • If you don't have fresh ginger, you could add ground ginger.
  • Sprinkle with some ground ginger for even more fall flair! 

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook about 1 minute.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes and carrot to the pot along with the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes. 
  3. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or pulse in batches in a regular blender. Once blended, add the cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat through. Garnish as desired and serve.
