This is the most time consuming part of the recipe.\nIn a large pot\, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook\, stirring frequently\, until soft and translucent\, about 10 minutes. Do not brown. Add the ginger and cook a minute more.\nAdd the carrots\, sweet potatoes\, chicken broth and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until vegetables are very tender\, about 25 minutes.\nStir in the apples. Using a stick blender\, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively\, cool the soup slightly\, then puree in a blender in batches. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if necessary.\n\n(Note: As the soup sits\, it will thicken up so you may need to add a bit of water to thin it out.) \n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
