Sweet potato soup (and cheese crouton) recipe that may help conceive<\/h2>\n

Serves: 6<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3\/4-inch cubes<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup chopped onion<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper<\/li>\n
  • 4 1\/2 cups low-sodium, fat free chicken broth<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • 6 thin slices whole grain bread<\/li>\n
  • 2 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, sliced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Place half of potato cubes in bowl and toss with 1\/2 tablespoon oil, place on baking sheet; repeat with remaining potatoes on a separate baking sheet. (Roasting in separate trays keeps air circulating so potatoes roast faster.) Roast in preheated 400-degree oven for 15-20 minutes until tender.<\/li>\n
    2. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add onion; saut\u00e9 3 minutes or until translucent. Stir in red pepper. Add broth to pan and roasted sweet potatoes; bring to a boil. Stir in salt and thyme.<\/li>\n
    3. Carefully blend soup until smooth with immersion blender (or use a regular blender pureeing half soup at a time.)<\/li>\n
    4. To make sandwiches, place 3 slices of bread on baking sheet, top with cheese and then remaining slices of bread. Toast in toaster oven (or regular oven) at 400-degrees until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes (watch carefully!) Cut into bite-sized croutons.<\/li>\n
    5. Divide soup evenly among 6 bowls; top with Grilled Cheese Croutons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
