Instructions
- Start by opening your web browser and Googling "dutch oven" like I had to do...
- Once you realize it's basically a large pot... Pour olive oil into the large pot, heat on medium.
- Take the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. One bonus tip... we usually bake our Thanksgiving turkey over rings of onions to allow heat to get underneath. If you do the same, save those suckers for this portion.
- Grab the curry powder and slowly sprinkle over the onions. Or just slam them in. Whatever you prefer. Stir and get the smells going!
- Add sweet potatoes, veggie broth, and turn up the heat.
- Once boiling... take the temp back down to medium/low and give those ingredients a nice bath. The mixture should reduce and become one nice looking soup!
- Take an immersion blender and give them a swirly. You can now add the moo moo juice (also known as milk).
- Spoon into a bowl, add greek yogurt and cilantro, and dip the sandwich melt into this sweet tasting goodness.
