Squash*Sweet Potato Curry Soup

Here is a yummy fall puree soup.  A friend passed this on to me after a girls dinner party we had and I LOVE it.  Adjusted the recipe a bit - like I always seem to do.  It is fairly easy to make with only a bit of prep work peeling, cutting and cursing at the squash.

In a medium stockpot heat for approx. 5 mins

• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 chopped onion

Add ingredients below and simmer for 30 to 40 mins

• 1 squash
• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 medium potato (optional)
• 1 cup carrotts
• 4 cups chicken stock (I like the homestyle kind)
• 1 tsp curry powder

Puree in blender
Stir in desired amount of milk and serve (you can also add some honey if you like)

If you like these veggies you will like this soup!
ENJOY :)
