So, cozy up in your kitchen this weekend and indulge in this Pumpkin Spiced Sweet Potatoes and Apple Soup recipe from Easy Baby Meals, along with a Potato, Chickpea, and Spinach Curry dish from AZ Grab A Plate.
Pumpkin Spiced Sweet Potatoes and Apple Soup
Ingredients:
1 cup sweet potato cubes (chopped ½-inch)
½ cup apple cubes (chopped ½-inch)
¼ cup celery (chopped)
1 ½ cup vegetable broth (or chicken or beef broth)
½-inch cinnamon stick
½ tsp. olive oil or unsalted butter
½ tsp. pumpkin spice
Handful of chopped walnut pieces (optional)
Directions: Heat a pan, add olive oil/butter and cinnamon stick. Once the oil heats, add sweet potatoes, apple, and celery cubes. Mix this week. Now add pumpkin spice and vegetable broth. Bring this to a boil. Simmer on low heat until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, then transfer it to a food processor and turn it into a smooth puree. Pour this into a serving bowl, garnish it with some walnuts and freshly ground black pepper, and serve warm.

2 Tbsp. olive oil
¾ pound new potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized chunks
¼ cup white onion, diced

Add the chickpeas, tomatoes in juice, the coconut milk, and all the seasonings. Mix to combine. Add the potatoes.
