• Hearty Winter Roots Soup
• Sweet Hot Yams
• Vegan Sloppy Joes (coming soon)
• Brunswick Stew (coming soon)

Sweet Hot Yams

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large yams or sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat 9 x 12 pan with oil. Place potatoes in dish, drizzle with additional oil, coat to mix, and bake about 25 minutes, or until well-browned.

Remove from oven. Combine sugar, salt and cayenne and sprinkle over yams. Toss and serve.

Hearty Winter Roots Soup

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups peeled, diced rutabaga
4 medium carrots, scrubbed and coarsely chopped
2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and diced
2 cups diced butternut squash
1 large celery stalk, diced
4 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup rolled oats, wheat, or rye
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk or soy milk
1 cup grated cheese or cheddar-style soy cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add onion and saute over medium heat until translucent. Add remaining vegetables along with just enough vegetable broth to cover. Stir in the oats. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and and cook, covered, about 30 to 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Use a slotted spoon to remove about 2 cups of the vegetables. Mash coarsely and return to the soup. Add the milk and continue to simmer over very low heat for about 10 more minutes.

Sprinkle in a bit of the cheese, stir until melted, and continue until all cheese is added. Add milk if needed until soup is of desired thickness. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
