CREAM OF SWEET POTATO SOUP
This easy to prepare yet oh-so-elegant soup is a favorite at my house. Because it has a slightly sweet taste, the kids love it, and it's my husband's favorite soup. Serve warm with buttery garlic bread and a crisp green salad. You can also serve cold with cucumber or watercress sandwiches.

CHICKEN, SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH SOUP
My mom made this for me every time I was sick; it was the only thing I could keep down. It was mild but I love it even when I'm not under the weather. She would use her own roasted chickens, but when I'm not feeling well I don't feel like roasting my own chicken, and the store-bought ones work in a pinch. Serve with crusty bread.

Top each soup with a teaspoon of sour cream and the sweet chili relish.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Roast the sweet potatoes before pureeing them: Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize their natural sugars and give the soup a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The quality of the vegetable broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its vibrant green color.
- Season the soup to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for sweet potato soup include croutons, chopped bacon, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato soup with creamed spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. Serve it with your favorite toppings for a complete and satisfying meal.
