2 tablespoons margarine
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
1 large celery stalk, diced
handful of celery leaves
6 cups diced sweet potatoes (1/2")
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup soy milk, or as needed
salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
Servings: 8
1. Heat the margarine in a large pot. Add the onions, carrots and celery and saute over low heat until the onions are golden. Add the celery leaves and sweet potato dice.
2. Just add enough water to cover all but about one inch of the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then stir in the bay leaves and seasonings. Simmer over moderate heat until the sweet potatoes and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. With a slotted spoon, remove about half of the solid ingredients and transfer to a food processor along with about one-half of the cooking liquid. Process until smoothly pureed.
4. Stir back into the soup pot. Add the soy milk as needed to achieve a slightly thick consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over very low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes.
