It\u2019s the first sign of Fall and we\u2019ve actually had our first chill in the air in Sacramento, CA.\u00a0 I really love this time of the year<\/strong> \u2013 beautiful sunny days that aren\u2019t too hot, lovely crisp mornings and evenings and the leaves are starting to turn golden. So it\u2019s time for a yummy fall soup recipe<\/strong>.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the recipe and soup ingredients<\/strong> (use organic preferably):
\n3 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks (you could also use butternut squash or pumpkin)
\n1 cup dry red lentils, well rinsed
\n1 onion, finely chopped
\n4 cloves garlic finely chopped
\n1 yellow pepper, chopped
\n1 green pepper, chopped
\nchopped fresh ginger (about 2 inches) or 1T dry ginger powder
\nsea salt and pepper to taste
\n4 cups filtered water or homemade chicken broth (enough to cover the vegetables)<\/p>\n

Ingredients for flavor and garnishing:<\/strong>
\n1T miso paste per person
\n1T organic plain yogurt or organic cream per person<\/p>\n

Add all the soup ingredients to a large soup pot, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Blend and serve in soup bowls.<\/p>\n

Now use the flavor and garnishing ingredients. Add IT miso to each bowl and mix it in before serving. Serve each bowl with a decorative twirl of organic plain yogurt or organic cream (about 1T per bowl). Enjoy!<\/p>\n

And here are some of the reasons to inspire you to make this nourishing soup (other than the delicious taste):<\/strong><\/p>\n
