Servings: 6
Author Notes: This terrific recipe was given to us by diabetic cooking expert  Marilyn Helton. Cubes of fresh apple, browned in a skillet, add the perfect contrast to this luscious, dairy-free soup.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon canola oil
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable stock
1 yam or sweet potato, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/2-inch slices
1 can (16 ounces) pured pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
salt and pepper to taste
4 teaspoons minced chives, for garnish
Instructions: In a large, heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the leek and chopped apple until the leek softens, about 4 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, yam, puréed pumpkin and thyme leaves. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the yam and apple are soft when pierced with a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.

Transfer the hot soup to a blender or food processor and purée. Pour it into 6 bowls, Garnish each bowl with a teaspoon of the chives, and serve.

Diabetic Exchanges:
1 Starch/Bread, 1/2 Fruit, 1/2 Fat
