Three Ingredient Puree Soups

I'm no Soup Nazi, but I love to puree vegetables for some odd reason. I definitely don't eat nearly as many vegetables as I should. They provide the best nutrients; but I can't say they are something I crave. Pureeing vegetables has been one of the most satisfying ways to consume vegetables for me! The other day I saw that my dad bought a few sweet potatoes, so I threw them in the oven for a while. After I took them out I simply blended them with water, cinnamon, and garlic. The flavor of a pureed sweet potato is actually out of this world. You can actually just eat the pureed sweet potato and it's just as satisfying. SO delish. A few days later I pureed boiled broccoli  mushrooms, and garlic out of curiosity. It literally tasted like a "Cream of Broccoli" soup. These pureed soups are Vegan and Paleo as well! I'm happy I've discovered a way to get more nutrients and will be experimenting with more veggies soon :)

Note: If you want more liquidy soup, add more water!
