Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped

Directions
  1. 1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onions, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with cardamom, turmeric, ginger, pepper flakes, cinnamon, cayenne; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
