Sweet Potato Soup

1 Tablespoon bacon fat

1 cup onions, chopped
2 sticks of celery, chopped
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and diced in small pieces
5 cups chicken broth (you can also use vegetable broth)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ( I add a little more as I really like it)
Sour cream for topping

Saute onion, celery and sweet potatoes in the bacon fat for around 5 minutes.

Add broth, cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until veggies are tender.
Puree in a blender or use an immerse blender and then reheat.
When you serve put a dollop of sour cream on top.
Serves 5-6 people
