I told you that I am all about seasonal cooking. Especially fall cooking--I love these flavors. Anyway--here is my favorite recipe that I have been making lately. Very simple but addicting. Plus it is good for you! This one is definitely a keeper (especially since both Randy and Wesley love it). I found this recipe on a Dannon yogurt advertisement actually. You can easily make this vegan by using soy yogurt. This recipe makes 12 servings, but I would say for a family of 4 it makes a good main dish with very few leftovers.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup plain yogurt
2 TB canola oil
1 large sweet onion, sliced
2 tsp ground cumin
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 qt veg. broth
2 TB chopped parsley or cilantro
1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Directions:
In a soup pot heat oil. Add onions and cumin and saute 3-4 minutes. Add potatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup 20-25 minutes.
Puree soup with 1 1/2 cups yogurt and parsley or cilantro. Serve each portion of soup with a dollop of remaining yogurt and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
Side note: I skipped the pumpkin seeds and extra dollop of yogurt, because really when it comes to dinner and I have a little one in the high chair wanting both food and entertainment, who has time to be that fancy?

That sounds so yummy!
That looks yummy! I've been struggling with menu planning lately - I think we need to do more soups...
How are you guys?
