1/8 tsp. mace
1/8 tsp. ginger

Directions:
A warm bit of comfort on a cold fall day. Use your own chicken stock!
Yield: 6 - 8 servings
Heat a heavy stock pot and melt the butter. Add onion, carrots and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly until softened, about 8 minutes or so. Do NOT brown.
Add the mace, the ginger, bay leaf, white pepper and salt. Cook 3 more minutes.
Add sweet potatoes, squash and chicken broth. Simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool awhile.
Puree in small batches using a blender or food processor. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
Enjoy! -Diana
