SWEET POTATO AND ONION SOUP
This simple recipe uses the sweet potato with its distinctive flavour and colour as the base for a delicious soup with a hint of orange and coriander. Taken from "What's Cooking : Potatoes" The recipe calls for the soup to be pureed, and the addition of yoghurt. I don't do this as we prefer chunky soups, so in fact, I stop at the end of Step 4! I squeezed fresh oranges for the orange juice.

SWEET FRENCH ONION SOUP
Adapted a couple french onion soups to create an original recipe. Friends and family often request me to make this soup. It's a huge hit everywhere I take it. It's super simple but super delicious. Often recipes list a wine and say that you can substitute another wine if you don't have the one listed. For this recipe, however, the Riesling wine is KEY to it's flavor. I strongly suggest sticking with it for this recipe.

Tips:
- Use sweet onions for the best flavor. Vidalia onions are a popular choice, but you can also use Walla Walla or Maui onions.
- Slice the onions thinly. This will help them caramelize evenly.
- Cook the onions slowly and patiently. It will take about 30 minutes for the onions to caramelize properly.
- Don't crowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of caramelize.
- Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Add a splash of white wine. This will help to deglaze the pan and add a bit of acidity to the soup.
- Season the soup to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, or other herbs and spices.
- Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
