      A Hot, Spicy, Sweet & Delicious  Soup to dispel colds, hangovers, werewolves etc...

      (Yield: Serves Lots)  Best served with corn bread I think.  Vegetarian friendly if you don't use butter or add sour cream.

      ----------------- VAMPIRE SLAYER SOUP -------------------------
      4 - Large Sweet Potatoes
      3 – Carrots
      1 - Ginger Root (Twice the size of your thumb)
      -----------------------------------------------------
      1 - Complete Head Of Garlic
      2 or 3 – Jalapeno Peppers
      2 - Red Bell Peppers
      2 Tbsp. - Mexican Chili Powder
      2 Tbsp. - Curry Powder
      Quarter cup - butter or olive oil
      salt to taste   
      ---------------------------------------------------------
      GARNISH - Sour Cream & Cilantro
      ---------------------------------------------------------
      METHOD:
      1)  Cube, Peel carrots, sweet potatoes & slice garlic thin while boiling half a large pot of water.  Toss the ingredients into the boil – Ginger on top!
      2)  Crush garlic, Chop peppers & Garlic  Sautee slow in a frying pan with butter or oil on low heat.
      3)  When pot has boiled for thirty minutes: Remove Ginger, strain & Save The Water!  Mash sweet potatoes & carrots.  Stir water back in.
      4)  Stir in sauteed Garlic & Peppers & Spices.  
      6)  Pour in bowls.  Garnish with sour cream & chopped cilantro
      7)  I wouldn't suggest adding a shot of Bourbon to a bowl of this......
      ........well O.K. Maybe I would!

      That really is the point!  Garlic is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics and a very effective preservative.  It will protect you from viruses and keep in your fridge for at least 5 days.  Adding a little grated cheddar isn't a half bad idea if you're using it as a dip (or even as soup for that matter). :)

      Sounds delish! I'll make this to fight winter. Since Tortilla chips are a regular in this household, they will meet this as a dip soon!

      Actually, It makes a great dip too!  Always comes out REALLY thick... You can serve it as dip w/tortilla chips at a party or dilute it into soup.  Plays well with others!
