Here is a video of Terry and me making raw sweet
potato soup. We were, more or less, playing around
and using the soup as a prop but, no kidding, it is
delicious and just in time for Thanksgiving.
We used raw sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, a little nama shoyu (or any form
of salt), a little chili powder, and water. We dumped everything into the
Blendtec blender, put the setting on soup and were rewarded with a beautifully
orange tasty soup.
Terry, from "My Journey with Candida" has been visiting Montana for
the last month. We dabbled in many areas......making videos, being
one of them. LOL

haha could have your own cooking show. That will sure kill off those pesky buggers within.
ReplyDeletePat
DeleteThen that would be "uncooking show to kill off pesky buggers." That is my idea of cooking, throwing everything into a blender. LOL
Never would have thought of sweet potato soup.
ReplyDeleteThen again, never would have thought of sweet potato fries, either.
They're delicious.
Al
ReplyDeleteYeah, those SP fries are really delish snack. The soup is sooo good. I tried being completely raw for 2 years but it doesn't work well for some older people. My body craved some cooked food. Now, I use a combo of anything and everything and I still enjoy some of the raw recipes.
You girls are having too much fun. Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
ReplyDeletePaula'
DeleteYes we had every moment filled doing something. It was fun meeting in person.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you.
So much fun to watch this of you two.
ReplyDelete<<---No one likes to watch/hear a blender. So true.... :)
That soup looks delish!!!
Robin
DeleteIt really is a good, quick soup to make. From my old years of trying to be completely raw.
I'm sorry, but you're how old, Manzanita????
ReplyDeleteOh, and the soup sounds great :)
Wendy
DeleteI think you know but if you are serious.... I'm 85
The soup is a quick and nutritious recipe for a vegetarian like you.
That was fun and you have me heading for the sweet potatoes-- a favorite. I like the ease of it and hope it turns out as good as yours.
ReplyDeletePatti
DeleteI hope it turns out well for you too. It is sooo easy but that blender helps too. It's so powerful I always hold the cover. Fool me one... etc. My son said his top blew off the blender too when it wasn't on perfectly straight. Ceiling soup. LOL
Cute video... You and Terry must have had a great time together... I love sweet potatoes --and that soup sounds delicious....
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
Hugs,
Betsy
Betsy
DeleteI love sweet potatoes too. Costco had these organic ones and they do carry them from time to time. I do try to buy all organic and I notice more and more stores are having organic areas.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
First I've ever heard of it. Sounds great
ReplyDeleteHoly Ghost
DeleteIt is good but I also like the fact that is easy to prepare...just pop everything in the blender, all the while being nutritious.
The Husband said "Siss Boom Bah" just before you did. lol. I shall try the recipe. You and Terry are great together.
ReplyDeleteSusie
DeleteHahaha
That is funny. He must have been a cheer leader too.
Holy ghost
ReplyDeleteIt is good but I also like that it's fast and easy to make while being nutritious.
I love making videos. I do a history website, and I've interviewed some people about history in the area where I live. Some are pretty good and some not so much :)
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you.

DeleteMy next to dancing subject is history. Although since I've gotten so dang old and can't dance anymore, I think history is now #1. LOL I'd love to see your history website.... where do I find it.
Hi Manzanita - sounds a delicious fresh soup .. not one I'd have thought of that's for sure! Loved watching the two of you get organised and whizz it up ... good health to you - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary
DeleteThanks...... Whizz it up we did. We meant to be silly and used the easy soup for a prop. LOL
I made it once since you and I made it. It was in the little cabin near you. Turned out pretty good for me not having all the ingredients. Love to you my sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteTerry
DeleteOur soup was a little warm fron the soup setting on the blender. I'm glad you made it home with safety. Thanks for calling. I did try to call but I know how busy you must be with the hiliday coming so near too.
And you eat this soup cold? Because if you heat it the ingredients would cook. I don't think I could handle raw sweet potato, I do make a nice sweet potato and pumpkin soup though, at least once every winter.
ReplyDeleteRiver
DeleteI ate only raw for a couple of years and this is a recipe from that era BUt just about every person who eats raw own a high speed blender, either a vitamix or a blentec. They are amazing blenders and on the soup setting, it beats raw food into a creamy consistecy and also heats the food.... not like boiling hot but a comfortable warm.
Your sweet potato and pumpkin soup sounds delish. I've made a hot pumpkin soup for Thanksgiving but not combined the two. I bet is is a hit.
Nice to hear your voices! I can't/don't eat chilli either, it's the worst thing in the world for flaring up my rosacea.
ReplyDeleteRiver
DeleteI know what you mean.... I always wonder what someone's voice sounds like too, especially when they live across the world. LOL I used to be a fan of hot and spicy but it doesn't especially match older age. ha Sorry to hear you have rosaces. I think I've heard that both extreme hot or cold is bad for it.
Love sweet potato but never made soup out of it.
ReplyDeleteMerle.............
Merle
DeleteIt's hard for me to tell the difference between the sweet potato and squash and they both even taste much like pumpkin in soups. Of course pumpkin in the traditional pumpkin pie has so many traditional spices that it does have that definite spice flavor.
lol at the cheer, I was thinking it sounded like a cheer and then you said, 'sis boom bah,' :) Too bad you gals aren't neighbors, we could maybe get a whole cooking series out of ya's! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Rosey
DeleteBut then we'd have to get good at it and get serious. This way we can just be goof-balls. LOL
This sounds yummy, and it's just so wonderful to cook together!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've even watched your another video where you introduce your amazing chickens-hens! Loved a lot!! :D
Zara
DeleteSo nice of you to look at my chicken video. Now you've seen them too. They are such pretty babies. Theiy are neat pets and so far I get 5 organic eggs every day.
Yes, they are adorable! ANd i love the murmuring sound they produce! :D Eggs is such a special bonus...sigh! :)
DeleteZara
DeleteI love that sound they make too.When I go into their coop, they are so happy and they jump on their perches and greet me with that soft sound.
hehee ;)) ... super!
DeleteI really love your video, and I think I'm inspired enough to try it out. I'll need to get that blender first.
ReplyDeleteRose
DeleteI use the Blendtec almost every day and i've bought them as presents for for all my kids and grandchildren. The Vitamix was the first and the name became the most popular but it's just a little taller and won't fit on most counters and I always want mine handy. They are not exactly inexpensive but they are an important tool for anyone who is into good health. The instructions never say this, but there is so much power that I have learned to lightly rest my hand on the lid when it runs. I found out the hard way and so did my son with his..... and it's no fun cleaning soup off the ceiling. Haha
It's by no means, a defect in the machine but we get in a hurry and don't always put the lid square on.
You cheat? Say it ain't so ;) Oh I looooooooooooooove ginger! Can't have enough ginger in my book, Manzanita. You're so right... no one wants to listen to a loud blender. My Bollywood Princess sometimes presses that red button and I'm as awake as a priest on um.... Monday.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good week, too!
Blue Man
ReplyDeleteOh God, why did I admit that. You'll blackmail me. lol But I don't cheat much. I was at Costco and saw some kind of confection of dark choc. with nuts in an attractive bag. (Lesson #1... don't go to the store when hungry) I loved dark chocolate BBL (before bad liver) and tossed the sweet-lov'n bag in my cart. I ripped into the bag on the drive home and made myself sick. When home, the neighbor came over and I tossed the bag at him and said, "bury this or I may even dig it out of the garbage." He later told me how delish. it was. Oh well.....
Bollywood Princess needs her morning health drink. Grind away little blender. Haha
Sounds inspired, good and easy.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie
DeleteEasy it is, just cut and grind and pour. We like that.
Mmmm... This looks really delicious!
