I tried this but used basil leaves instead of the mint in the pistou, and it was divine. I’m not even a huge soup person but still really liked it.

Hi Deb- I made a version of this too, just without the sweet potatoes… here’s the link if you’d like to check it out.

Beautiful! I have a stick/wand blender as well and it is an absolute godsend when having to process a large amount of anything into liquid form :)

This looks delicious! Sweet soups are a strange thing…but always good with a little extra salt. I can handle them in small doses, but especially with a bit of grilled bread of bruschetta: oh yum.

I’ve been lurking on this and your regular smitten blog and really love both. I came across this little gadget on the internet and figured I had to pass it on:

I got one last November, too, but have YET to pull it out of the box. I’m close to ready though. I wore a jacket today! Soup’s on!

The immersion blender has suddenly become my new best friend. I got it as a wedding gift a year ago, but only began using it recently. And as they say, I’ve looked back!

I also got an immersion blender for my wedding. I finally got around to using it. I cannot wait for fall to set in here in the deep South, so I can experiment making velvety soups, but it makes fabulous smoothies! Just whirl together milk, a splenda, and an assortment of fruits. Yummy! I can get some fruits into my husband now!

I love it! Immersion Blender is what my mom was always referring to when she used the “boat motor”!

Deb, thanks so much for this site! As a newlywed (June 25) it is comforting to know someone else is finding glory, joy and bliss in cooking!

Pistou IS an awesome word to say but only if you are using a PepÃƒÂ© Le Pew-type over-the-top phony French accent. In fact, doing that makes all sorts of words awesome to say although I notice it quickly wears thin for those listening to the awesome words.

Your soup looks delicious and I’m kicking myself a little for recently purchasing a regular blender instead of an immersion blender. Dag!
