These fall days often make me crave something warm and comforting, especially when I am home alone. On this particular day I decided to comfort myself with one of my favorite fall dishes for lunch. This recipe is a simplified version of my favorite Sweet Potato Soup recipe that is so easy for the single person to whip up!
Simple Single Sweet Potato Soup
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 ½ cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup milk or cream
Pinch salt
In a sauce pan boil potatoes and broth until tender. The liquid will begin to evaporate, so be sure to stir. Add spices and place in the blender. Blend until smooth and return to saucepan, on low heat stir in milk, adjust seasoning and serve.
Now I don’t always use a blender for this recipe. I often simply use a potato masher as shown above. Mostly because I am too lazy to do all those dishes for just me and I enjoy a little texture in the soup. This however is up to you.
Hi there. The current Food on Friday is all about potatoes! So it would be great if you linked this in. This is the link . Have a good week.
Visiting from Friday Chaos. this recipe looks good. I'm always looking for good soup recipes as it's my favorite thing to eat in the fall and winter. Thanks
Stopping by from the blog hop! This recipe looks delicious! My husband travels pretty often for work, and I'm always struggling to come up with easy recipes for just myself. I'll be saving this one!

I'm stuck with a traveling significant other as well. I already have a few recipes up, but am hoping to get more for this series soon. There is no reason eating alone has to be boring! thanks!
