I made a lower fat version which honored the original flavor combinations presented here. The results were a fabulous luncheon soup for just four points. In my soup I reduced the oil by a third and used a little broth during the cooking time with the onions to keep them from getting too dry. I also used my faux coconut milk, stirring it in at the end as directed. My one flavor change was to use about two teaspoons of grated ginger which was the perfect bridge between the sweetness of the sweet potato and apple and the spiciness of my madras curry. This was so easy and delicious I will certainly make again, perhaps using a mix of potatoes and winter squash. Thanks!
