Instructions

1. Peel and chop the yams into 2 cm. cubes.
2. Soak the yams in water.
3. Peel and chop the carrots, and add them to the yams in the water.
4. Peel and core the apple, and chop it into 1 cm. cubes.  Put them in the water as well.
5. Slice the prunes and apricots into spaghetti thin strings.
6. Heat the butter in a large pot.
7. Saute the prune and apricot until they start to look sticky because they're melting a little.
8. Drain the yams, carrots, and apple, and then put them in the pot.
9. Pour in enough fresh water to almost cover it all.
10. Add the lemon juice and salt.
11. Stir to distribute the lemon juice and salt, and then leave it to boil on high heat.
12. When it's boiling well, cover, and turn the heat down to low.
13. Let it simmer for an hour or until the carrots are relatively soft.
14. Stir to mash things up a bit.
15. Optionally, you can puree the soup with a hand blender.  If you do, be careful because it will pop violently and highly when it becomes a puree.  So take it off the heat before you do this.
