Recipe Instructions

In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden. Add the apples, sweet potatoes, cayenne and black peppers and stock or broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 1 hour.

Add salt to taste and adjust the seasonings accordingly. If the soup is too sweet, add a bit of lemon juice. If you prefer more of a puree, cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
