Fall 5-Spice Soup Recipe

  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  1. Pour vegetable broth into a pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery in hot oil until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add Chinese 5-spice powder to onion mixture, stir to coat, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Mix sweet potatoes, apples, salt, and onion mixture into broth; cook until sweet potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool soup for at least 5 minutes.
