Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 onions
320g
4 sweet potatos
1000g
3 potatoes
600g
4 cups chicken gravy
800g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the onions.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes into small, even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped onions to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the diced sweet potatoes and regular potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil and aromatics.
4. Add the Chicken Gravy:
- Pour in the chicken gravy. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
5. Simmer the Soup:
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6. Blend the Soup:
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it's smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot. Be cautious with hot liquids to avoid splatters.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add salt, pepper, or any other preferred spices to enhance the flavor.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

- Make sure to chop the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Roasting the garlic cloves before adding them to the soup can add an extra depth of flavor.

- Using a blender or an immersion blender will give the soup a creamy texture.

- Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness and color.

- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; don't be afraid to add more salt or pepper.

- For a vegetarian option, you can replace chicken gravy with vegetable broth.
